7 Dec 1941: Transports set out for Chelmo, Poland, the 1st stationary Nazi extermination camp. Poison gas murders began the next day, contributing to the Nazi murder of 6 million people.

Attack on Pearl Harbor, 2 years after start of WWII; finally hurt the US ego enough to actively join the fray.

28 Nov 1939: Hitler (in Oct 1939) announced Polish govt. 'completely collapsed'. 28 Nov, Reich Security Chief Reinhard Heydrich orders deportation of ~100k Jews/Poles to a 'Zone of Occupation'. German supreme court rules Polish people are 'stateless subjects'.

Sound familiar?

When a man is called a legend, he's going down in history for doing something significant.

When a woman is called a legend, she is being erased from history for doing something significant.

It's funny, right? No. It isnt.

On this day in Germany, 1939:

Hitler's government ordered that non-Jewish folx with Nordic features had 12 months to divorce their Jewish spouses.

Today, cruel madmen are reviving the nazi playbook. Are you terrified yet? You should be.

Learn history or live history.

WWII began September 1, 1939. The US ignored MURDER OF MILLIONS until their egos were hurt on December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. US wasn't the savior. They didn't care before then.

It's unreasonable to expect anyone to help us until 2027. Think about it.

You should be terrified.

Of all the times in history I might have chosen to experience, this was among the lowest on my list.

Like, rock f*ckin* BOTTOM low.

Every now and again, new entries in the annals of history make me a tiny bit less Salty. A tiny bit.

What do you think explains why so many people willingly erase women from the pages of history?
