The Order of the Day

Product Information

Nella settimana che seguì l’Anschluss, l’annessione dell’Austria (12 marzo 1938), 1700 ebrei si suicidarono nella sola Vienna. La compagnia del gas austriaca non voleva più avere clienti ebrei perché parecchi di loro finivano col non pagare la bolletta! The number of bridesmaids you have will alter your timeline. Got lots? You’ll need two hair and makeup artists and will have to allow at least two hours’ prep time for the bridesmaids alone. The fewer you have, the less time you’ll need to allocate.

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

I grandi gruppi industriali tedeschi, quei marchi che conosciamo così bene (Krupp-Thyssen, Siemens, Opel, BASF, Daimler, Agfa, Bayer, Allianz, Telefunken, le nostre automobili, le nostre lavatrici, i nostri detersivi…) finanziarono il partito nazista consentendogli di arrivare al potere, impadronirsene e mantenerlo, utilizzarono gli internati dei campi di concentramento come manodopera gratuita, trattandoli come schiavi, sfruttandoli spesso fino alla morte, e poi furono i protagonisti della rinascita tedesca degli anni Cinquanta riempiendo dei loro prodotti le nostre case. Gripping…a tour de force…this unusual work…peel[s] away the veils of dissimulation, disguise and self-justification that conspire to make historical disasters appear as just the way things happen.”— Wall Street Journal

Semplice, potente, sconcertante, Vuillard mi ha conquistato. (È talmente nelle mie corde che sarei tentato per il massimo dei voti.)

As if they were normal people, the mass murderers do smalltalk, have a good time, practice intellectual drivel about culture or just share some gossip, all while playing psychological warfare alpha male dominance games with one another to get the escalation started as soon and bloody as possible. Some are having a great time and believe in what they do, the cynical Chilling, but the ironies continue. The saying, however, it goes, the one that supposed that without the horse, the kingdom would have been lost, can be used here. If just one thing had been different, one powerful person in Austira, England etc. had spoken up, refused Hitler's threats and manipulations, so many would have been saved. As we know, this did not happen. Certainly, it’s better to walk away from a book wishing for more than less, but I feel like this was a bit of a wasted opportunity. More content was needed for this to achieve its ambitions. It also engages with the idea that major business owners drive much of the political agenda, but, again, more of this was needed to illustrate exactly how far this goes. If you’re worried about lulls during the day, arrange for entertainment like a magician, garden games, or a hair/makeup station where guests can freshen up. Many of these industries are still in existence, used Jewish labor from the camps, disposable people, and became even richer.
