History: Kristallnacht - German pogrom of 1938
Tonight it is 70 years ago, that in the night of November 9th synagogues, Jewish shops and houses were destroyed throughout Germany and Austria. Almost a thousand Jews were murdered that night and 20-30,000 deported to concentration camps.
Sadly these days it looks like the extreme right wing thugs are creeping into society across Europe again. Where do you think that substantial amounts from all those Billions disappearing from military and so-called humanitarian aid programs are ending up?
This time it might not be the Jews, but will the majority of people again look to the other side and profit from…

Russia’s answer on the U.S. Elections: Obama Matryoshkas
In Moscow, matryoshka - little wooden dolls - of Barack Obama have become one of the best selling souvenirs among tourists and Russians.

Image: Change is coming
While we don’t like the idea to demonstrate any difference between people by the color of your skin, we are remembering that not so long ago (less than 30 years in some states of the U.S.) a person like Obama would have seen his parents arrested for the (difference in the) color of their skin and he himself would have been a complete outcast in normal life left alone political life.
So because of this and only because of this we believe the image below might visualize how big a step the U.S. has made yesterday with Barack Obama’s election for President.
It certainly visualizes that there is a change. And when can you see 44 U.S. Presidents all together in one image.
