Stating the Obvious
April 17, 2005 ( politics )
Now, I love the BBC. It's my primary news source nowadays. But sometimes, even the best news organization in the world can stoop to stating what can only be considered very obvious:
Plagge, who died in 1957, was honoured by the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.It is unusual for Yad Vashem to bestow the "Righteous Among the Nations" title on a German who was part of the Nazi war machine, the memorial's chairman Avner Shalev told the BBC News website.
Really? Unusual? gee gosh willikers!
(seriously, tho, Plagge saved ~1200 Jews (mostly women and children) using his factory
