Jump to unread Post a CommentIt was a controversial and famous phrase in French President Charles de Gaulle’s speech in Montreal on July 24, 1967.
Under the pretext of attending Expo 67De Gaulle was in Canada on an official state visit. While giving an address to a large crowd from a balcony at Montreal City Hall, he uttered “Vive le Québec !” (Long live Quebec!) and then added, almost drowned out by the crowd, “Vive le Québec libre !” (Long live free Quebec!). Many people mistakenly think that this sentence, the third-last of the speech, was the last one. “Vive le Québec libre !” was a popular slogan for people wishing to show their support for Quebec sovereignty.
Texas City Disaster
The Texas City Disaster of April 16, 1947, started with the mid-morning fire and detonation of approximately 2,300 tons [Texas City, Texas Disaster] of ammonium nitrate on board the French-registered vessel SS “Grandcamp” in the port at Texas City, Texas, killing 567 people. It also triggered the first ever class action lawsuit against the United States government, under the then-recently enacted Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), on behalf of 8,485 victims.
Auschwitz-Birkenau Selection
Virtually no photographs exist of any of the six death camps in operation (Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka).
The Auschwitz Album, a collection of pictures made by an unknown German officer during the ‘‘selection’’ process on the Birkenau train platform, remains a notable exception.
