    Inmates Escape Auschwitz and Reveal Horrors to the World

    By Major Dan on April 10, 2020 April 10, Crime, Military, Politics, Religion

    A Brief History On April 10, 1944, 2 Jewish inmates of the German concentration camp at Auschwitz, in Poland, escaped to tell the world of the horrors they had witnessed.  (The name of the camp is Oświęcim in Polish.)  They soon reported the incredible conditions of the camp and the ongoing extermination of European Jews by the Nazi regime of Germany.  Their report, known as the Vrba–Wetzler report, shocked the world and resulted in the government of Hungary, an ally of Germany during World War II, to stop deporting Hungarian Jews to Germany for extermination in the dreaded concentration camps.…

    A Brief History On April 10, 1858, the original bell called “Big Ben” in the clock tower at the North end of Westminster Palace was removed because it had cracked when tested.  The giant 14.5 metric ton bell was replaced with a smaller version, weighing only 13.76 metric tons (or 30,300 pounds for Yankees), but also called Big Ben.  Built by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, the bell called Big Ben is often confused with either the tower the giant clock sits in or the tower itself.  Big Ben is really just the bell that chimes the hours.

    April 10, 2018: Who Invented “Occam’s Razor?”

    By Major Dan on April 10, 2018 April 10, Inventions, Politics, Religion

    A Brief History On April 10, 2018, adherents of the Anglican Church celebrate the Feast Day of St. William of Ockham, the Franciscan theologian and philosopher that gave us the logical tool known as Occam’s Razor, an idea oversimplified as ‘the briefest, most likely explanation is the best.’ Digging Deeper Born in Ockham, Surrey, England around 1285, William joined the Franciscan Order as a lad and was probably educated at Oxford, believed to have completed his studies in theology for a master’s degree which was apparently not awarded (for unknown reasons). William wrote an unpopular commentary on the Peter Lombard…

    April 10, 1916: Today is Golfer’s Day!

    By Major Dan on April 10, 2017 April 10, Sports

    A Brief History On April 10, 1916, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America was formed in New York City. This watershed date in golf history is marked today as “Golfer’s Day.” Despite severe criticism by citizen Donald J. Trump of President Barack Obama, also known as “The Golfer in Chief,” for having golfed 306 rounds during his 8 years as President, President Trump has already raised eyebrows by going golfing 14 times in the 2 and half months he has been President. Apparently President Trump is not acquainted with Citizen Trump. Digging Deeper Although golfing is a recreational activity enjoyed…

    By Major Dan on April 10, 2016 April 10, Religion, The Bizarre

    A Brief History On April 10, 1908, a Cambridge educated Englishman finished translating The Book of the Law which had been allegedly given to him by a messenger of the God, Horus! Digging Deeper Aleister Crowley was born into privilege in England and studied philosophy and literature at Cambridge. Known to revel in his bisexuality, Crowley dabbled in poetry, painting, writing novels and plays, mountaineering, experimenting with drugs, and the occult.  Remembered primarily as the founder of the religion known as Thelema, Crowley claimed to be the prophet of the God Horus and that Crowley’s mission was to guide mankind…
