Harking back to my family, a not so distant female cousin apparently blew up a Nazi cafe and was executed. I don't know her name alas.View attachment 1930

For what it's worth, I don't think the history forum will (or should) be any more out of bounds for nonsense than elsewhere on Moopy. So I'd make peace with that quicklyPlease stop trolling the history forum. Thanks!

That's fine, but we have a Eurovision forum and it's rather exhausting so many references in here.For what it's worth, I don't think the history forum will (or should) be any more out of bounds for nonsense than elsewhere on Moopy. So I'd make peace with that quickly

I mean, that REALLY IS THE PICTURE.Just to get a female artist in: Artemisia Gentileschi
Kösem was then dragged by her feet to the gateway leading from the Imperial Harem into the Third Court, where Süleyman Agha ordered his men to kill her. They strangled her in a group of four, all of whom were young and inexperienced assassins. They worked tirelessly to strangle her with a piece of cord ripped from the curtains. While the others drew the cord, one assassin climbed on her back and pitched her neck with his hands, but he came to a halt when Kösem bit his left thumb so severely. In retaliation, he struck her on her forehead, perhaps causing her to fall unconscious. Then, assuming she was dead, they screamed out, 'She is dead, she is dead!' and went to notify the sultan and his mother. When they were out of sight, she then unexpectedly lifted herself up, most likely hoping to escape through a secret passageway. When it was discovered that she had gone away, the assassins were summoned again, and she was caught. According to Rycaut, the assassins then applied the curtain cord for the second time, while the Ottoman renegade Bobovi, relying on an informant in the harem, stated that Kösem was in fact strangled with her own hair. According to sources, she is said to have struggled so much that blood spurted out of her ears and nose and soiled the murderer's clothes.
Someone needed to INVENT the drying rack?Not sure if historical enough but I always admired Maiju Gebhard. She invented the dish drying cabinet which is one of the most popular innovations to arrive from my country.
Was watching a documentary for NY the other day and some part of it was about her. Poor woman.
