On This Day in History - June 9, 1941
June 9, 1941 #OTD The funeral of ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II was held in Doorn. Although AH had wanted a state funeral in Berlin with himself in a prominent role, Wilhelm's family insisted on respecting instructions he'd given in 1933 that he was to be buried in Doorn if Germany was not a monarchy at the time of his death. However, a delegation of German officials led by Arthur Seyss-Inquart was allowed to attend as well as a Wehrmacht guard of honour, and Wilhelm's wishes that German regalia not to be displayed at his funeral were ignored. Pictured: Funeral of Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1941. Visible in this photo are Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, Generals Curt Haase and August von Mackensen, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart.

Edna was was a 46 year old woman who worked on the 93rd floor of WTC Tower 1 on 9/11. She is the only known identified... read more

I believe women like her only come once in centuries. Her qualities and resilience is admirable. The fact that she, an ordinary Slavic girl, not only survived the local snake's den, but was also able to get to the very top, makes her story unique and at the same time terribly sad
