  • The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.

    We appreciate your patronage.

A Heroic Tale for Rosh Hashanah

Ros shoshana 2017Good Morning Gentle Readers,

Wishing my Jewish friends all the very best of the new year celebration, Rosh Hashanah, which began at sunset.

There were untold numbers of heroes of the Big War, most of whom remain anonymous and whose stories are untold. Then, there are others, such as Knud Christiansen, who was a Danish Olympic Athlete in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. By 1943 he had become a part of the Danish resistance.

He was among the first to learn of the SS plans to arrest the Jews in one convenient mass roundup. It was planned on Rosh Hashanah, at 10 p.m. on Oct. 1 in 1943, an evening Denmark's 7,000 Jews were expected at home, almost all of whom lived in Copenhagen.

This is his story and the re-telling is a terrific way to commemorate the Jewish New Year.
