Kristallnacht
– (The Night of Broken Glass) - This year is the 75th
anniversary of the beginning of Hitler's Final Solution. On this
terrifying night, Nazi soldiers, Hitler's Youth, and the German
police destroyed thousands of Jewish homes, synagogues and shops.
Thirty thousand Jews were taken from their homes and nearly a hundred
were killed that very night. Many more thousands saw what happened
and did nothing either out of fear of repercussion from the Nazi's or
Hitler-inspired hatred against the Jews. The really sad thing is
that the world didn't learn from history as the Nazi party is rising
and gaining power in Europe again, particularly in Greece.
Chaos
Never Dies Day – This day brings out into the open the fact
that almost everyone has a chaotic lifestyle that the upcoming
holiday season will escalate to sometimes unbearable levels. This
day is about stress, whether it's from work, school, homework,
chores, activities, deadlines and endless lists of things that “have
to be done”.
To
celebrate today, do whatever you can to spread a message of love and
tolerance for others to everyone you know in the world, particularly
in Greece, then take a nap and listen to some soothing music to
relieve the stress of your life.
