January 23, 2014: Dalí died 25 years ago ... 

 Salvador Dali with a tame ocelot in the year 1965 in New York. The acquisition of several of these fascinating animals was arranged by Dalí's manager and friend, Captain Peter Moore. He kept the animals in his garden park with a swimming-pool (also for the animals) in Cadaques. Dalí took out the unusual animals to his great public appearances. They were also admired, when Dalí had receptions for the media in his house at the sea, or in Paris. For our article, see Salvador Dalí died 25 years ago ...

At the „Pope's Gate" of the cloister in the Vatican garden, the former Pope Benedikt XVI. greeted his successor Francis. Both met the day before the Holy Night, in order to exchange Christmas greetings. Both Popes wore plain white gowns, without any ornaments. In the rich countries of the world are many Catholics who consider such ostensible shows of solidarity with the poor as being "overdone" by the new Pope. Catholics in Germany are considered to be world-masters in giving donations and helping others. At the same time, they want from their Catholic Church to honor God and the saints in a magnificent and splendid manner. For our article, see So wohnt der deutsche Papst im Vatikan ...

A historical document: Adolf Hitler (right) greets his secretary Gerda Christian at an evening reception. Next to her stands another private secretary Christa Schröder, who was hired by Hitler several years earlier. The „Führer" had treated all four of his private secretaries equally with respect, was reported by eye-witnesses. The photograph, taken more than 70 years ago, was taken with a "normal camera" at the time, which explains the lower quality of the photo. For our article, see Hitler-Sekretärin Gerda Christian: 100.

Pictures done in various techniques from the art cache of 2012 in Munich, Germany. It was confiscated from an 81-year old srt dealer. According to experts, such pictures were not sold because they are "beautiful". They were bought by speculators in the hopes that this art, formerly condemned by the NS leadership as "Degenerate art" , would be a good investment. Thus, the former average art dealers have eventually become art stars, thanks to the unsuccessful campaign of the national socialists. The benefactors were largely their heirs.

At 12:40 pm local time, the coffin was lowered into the ground in the presence of his family. Some 4,500 invited guests from politics and society had paid him earlier the last respects.
