What I did on me hollybobs.

Hard to see a way back for the Ubisofts of the world. Tears in rain.
Ubisoft's share price for the past 25 years. A graph that goes along a bit, up a bit and then down a bit, along a bit more then up a lot before doing a Wile E. Coyote into the lowest circle of Hell.

There are few first-hand accounts of #Auschwitz, but this was written by the chief physician of the crematoriums (another is Fatelessness by Imre Kertész, who won the Nobel prize in 2002). Of course they're hard to read, but it happens because people look away, non?

Orlock was founded on this image because it was a widespread representation of evil at the time. He's the Boogie Man, if you like, a product of the same sort of reasoning behind so many American film villains being Russian. The newspaper cartoon on the left was published in Vienna around 1910. 2/
Count Orlock from the original Nosferatu (1922) next to an antisemitic cartoon published in Austria around 1910, showing obvious similarities.
