Stamp Burning
Thought this might be of interest:
News Scandinavian stamps burnt February 2006 Yemeni man sets light to collection in protest. A Yemeni collector has burnt over 5000 Scandinavian stamps, some of which date back to 1841, in the latest wave of protests following the publication of cartoons in a Danish newspaper, which have offended Muslims world wide. An expensive Swedish collection was among the stamps burnt, according to the collector, who is now threatening to burn the stamps of any country whose media insult the prophet Mohammed. He is now apparently busy sorting through his collection in readiness. http://www.gibbonsstampmonthly.com/s...2460&preview=1 ---------------------------------------------------------- I ought to burn my Yemeni stamp collection in retaliation, if I had one. It would probably be only worth about 5 cents anyway. Sounds like the guy needs a geography lesson if he thinks Sweden is in Denmark! |

First they burn stamps, then books, then people... No,no,no! burning books will not delete its contents. Destruction never changes things to the better end. The only way to find peace is discussion, sitting together and speak about everything. Discussion is our aim here, nothing else. best regards Gerhard, born after the holocaust in Germany, learning from history every day |

Discussion is our aim here, nothing else. best regards Gerhard, born after the holocaust in Germany, learning from history every day Aside from the horrors mentioned, Germany during this time period was quite prolific in its output of philatelic material. Stamps, envelopes, postal cards were one way of pulling in needed $ for the Reichsmachine. There were some protests from this side of the pond. Some clubs boycotted buying them, showing their protest at the rest of what was going on. These stamps didn't get burned, but lived on to tell a story, through pictures, of a time rather not gone back to again.

With "us" Victor, I was referring to groups of peoples,
rather than individuals. | After viewing (the latest) images from Abu Greab, | one may conclude, others arn't learning a great deal. | or perhaps, that this behaviour is in us all. | | Some others, actually a few of them haven't learned what they should.
