Let's not.

First of all, I'm completely clueless what kind of a mind can draw a conclusion from my post that it's some kind of nazi propaganda. Why did I post it then? Well, to be honest I'm somewhat puzzled why every year people cherish this horrible event and speak of it like it's the most horrendous event in the history of mankind. I'm not saying it should be forgotten or downplayed either. There just are other horrific events in the human history, many of them more destructive and more terrible than 9/11 (for example the mass murders during the Nazi, Stalin and Mao régimes). Even though in my opinion death of a one person is as great tragedy as death of thousands and tragedies shouldn't be compared or rated which is more horrible than other.

9/11 claimed 3000 people. Every day around 16,000 children dies from hunger. There's not much talk of that, albeit the amount of dead is five times the amount of dead on 9/11 and it happens every day and that's just the children.

Darmstadt was just an example of what else horrible has happened on the same date.

And yes, my post was very tactless. Perhaps shouldn't have posted it. Or this one for that matter. I just felt to point out what I explained (badly) above. I meant no disrespect whatsoever. On 9/11/01 I was as horror-struck as the rest of you.

Now excuse me, I have a Kristallnacht re-enactment occasion to attend to and after that I have to continue building my Auschwitz-Birkenau replica
