R I P of the day

von Papen Franz (b. 1879-10-29 / d. 1969-05-02)

The central role that Papen played in Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in January 1933 was reflected by Papen's indictment at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial. He was, however, acquitted based on the tribunal's determination that his "political immoralities" were not punishable under the "conspiracy to commit crimes against peace" charged in Papen's indictment.

Born 1964-03-20. Domain:Philosophy. Cause of death:Accident

Anne Dufourmantelle was a French philosopher and psychoanalyst. She died at Pampelonne beach in Ramatuelle near the city of Saint-Tropez, while trying to rescue two children caught in the Mediterranean when the water became dangerously turbulent. The children were rescued by lifeguards and survived, but Dufourmantelle could not be resuscitated. Curiously, she died almost the same way as Octave Hamelin did in 1907.
