train from Westerbork to Auschwitz, arriving three days later.

A. 1849 - Sarah Orne Jewett, American writer (d. 1909).
B. 1905 - Carl David Anderson, American physicist, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1991).
4. List one death:
A. 1658 - Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England (b. 1599).

I did this meme a few weeks ago and I thought it was so much fun seeing what events had happened on the date I was born:-)
I haven't tried this one yet! Looks interesting. I enjoyed the book, Diary of Anne Frank..
:)
Thanks Betty! I did it! LOL
Hi Betty!
I am passing by your nice blog on this wonderful Sunday to wish you a very happy week-end! Hope your are doing fine! How is the weather at your place?
It's unbelievable, but we are having the most beautiful day of the year right now: not a single cloud on a very blue sky, the sun is shining and it feels HOT like in summer! I am just taking a break from sunbathing...
After 10 days off, we need to be back at work as of tomorrow. We had a great holiday and enjoyed most of the time outside in our garden.
Oh, and more than 1000 tulips are blooming outside right now! It looks breathtaking! I'll write my next post about them, so don't forget to pass by my blog next week - you are always more than welcomed!
Warmest wishes from Germany,
Anita
These are fun and informational! I'll be doing mine in the next couple of days:)
