Thank you for a wonderful Purim edition, full of amazing humor and joy. On a more serious note, I found Yonoson Rosenblum’s article truly fascinating. Could I please add a footnote to his amazing story about Julius Streicher yemach shemo?

According to what I remember, Streicher’s last words were “Purimfest fur die Juden!” (Purim festival for the Jews), seeing the reincarnation of the Neis Purim in their deaths.
