Above, ethnic humor that appeared, incredibly enough, on The Times’ editorial page … Below, Hitler celebrates the takeover of Austria with a vegetarian meal … Holocaust deniers, please note the stories on mobs beating Jews …

Quote of the day: "Catholics in the Vienna Diocese are asked on Sunday to offer thanks to the Lord God for the bloodless course of the great political change and to beg for a happy future for Austria." Theodore Cardinal Innitzer, archbishop of Vienna.
