Nine-year-old Helen Stor, clad in Bohemian native dress, holds coin boxes against Hitler that will circulate on March 25, 1939, when a "Stop Hitler" parade was planned. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise was honorary grand marshal for the parade, which was sponsored by the American Council to Combat Nazi Invasion. They said they expected 250,000 to attend. Unfortunately, it took more than a parade to stop Hitler.

The International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade
The International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade is honored on March 25. It was observed for the first time in 2008. The day honors and recalls the more than 15 million people who were brutalized for over 400 years as a result of a slave system. The Panamanian port city of Portobelo is a key entry site during the transatlantic slave trade for enslaved Africans who would then be transported to various locations if they survive the treacherous ocean voyages. Despite its abolition, slavery still exists today in various ways.
HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE OF THE VICTIMS OF SLAVERY AND THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE
The transatlantic slave trade was the world’s largest forced migration and unquestionably one of the cruelest. Over 400 years, a massive exodus of Africans spread over the globe in a way that had never been seen before or recorded in human history. Between 1501 and 1830, a ratio of four to one African to European crossed the Atlantic, making the American population more of an extension of Africans than Europeans.
During the 16th century and up to the 19th century, approximately 15 to 20 million individuals were carried against their will from Africa to Central, South, North America, as well as Europe. The transatlantic slave trade was a profitable triangular commerce between Europe, the Americas, and West Africa. It provided the foundation for most of Britain’s prosperity. Slaves were traded as men, women, and children in various slave trading systems. During the travels, up to 2.4 million slaves died, with millions more dying soon after. Slaves were sold to serve as domestic servants, on plantations, mines, and rice fields.
Britain was the first country to establish legislation prohibiting the slave trade in 1807, and by 1815, the British had persuaded the Netherlands, Spain, France, and Portugal to follow suit. Slave trading was made illegal in the United States nearly five years later, in 1820, and was eventually abolished in 1865.

Απ'το Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος στον αέναο ραγιαδισμό, τις μεγάλες σημαίες, τα "πατρίς, θρησκεία, οικογένεια".
Απ'τον Καραϊσκάκη, τη Μπουμπουλίνα, τον Κανάρη, στο διαχρονικό Ζάλογγο με γραβάτα, καλογυαλισμένα τσαρούχια και τρύπιες κάλτσες.
Απ'τα τοπικά γιούρια μιας επανάστασης χωρίς κεντρικό πρόσταγμα, στη μηντιακή προβατοποίηση "αφού το είπε η τηλεόραση".
Ένας μπακαλιάρος σκορδαλιά απέμεινε, κι αυτός σε καλάθι με κουπόνι, κι ο ραγιαδισμός μας. Ο παπάς, ο τσιφλικάς, οι κλέφτες χωρίς τους αρματωλούς, να διδάσκουν αρχαία ελληνικά σε σκύλους.
Πέρασαν 200+ χρόνια, και προτιμήσαμε το ή θάνατος.

Lower Manhattan looked rather creepy during a 20-minute test blackout, March 25, 1942. The area covered by the blackout extended five square miles, from the Battery north to 14th Street. The lights at the bottom are boats in the East River and reflections in Brooklyn. The lights at the left are from the New Jersey shore, which didn't take part in the blackout.

I keep forgetting that I have a dishwasher.
As a one-person household, I dislike using it. It takes days before it's even near to how full it ought to be to run it, and all that time, whatever is in there I cannot use.
Instead I prefer to wash my pans and forks and plates and mugs manually. It takes maybe a minute or two for anything that isn't dinner, and most of the dinner dishes I can do while the food is cooking.
It also requires very little water. Maybe a quick rinse, a few drops of washing-up liquid, a sponge, and another quick rinse is all I need to remove whatever "dirt" is fresh on the dishes. I don't even need to fill the sink with water.
But then there are days like these, when my energy fails me and the dishes pile up - as they say. I'll reuse some plates, I'll quickly wash a pot I need again, and the cutlery is slowly disappearing from their spot in the kitchen drawer. I'm faced with a mountain that only increases until I have nothing left to eat off or drink from.
Then I might remember I have a dishwasher. Now all I have to do is remember I used it.
