☆ The Himalayan mountains are growing — but Tibet could be splitting apart in the process

As the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly collide, the Himalayan mountains continue to rise. However a new study suggests the Indian plate may be peeling apart, causing a slab tear. AdvertisementAn eons-long collision that created the Himalayas, the world's tallest mountain range, may also be splitting Tibet apart into two pieces, new research suggests. The edge of the Eurasian plate crumpled upward as India pressed into it, thrusting the Himalayas into existence. But scientists haven't been sure where exactly the Indian plate was going.

☆ To Be a ‘Palatable Jew’ — in Germany in 1940, in the U.S. Today

I am sitting in the lobby of my son’s Brooklyn school, reading the diaries of Victor Klemperer. The diaries have sat on my shelf for years — invaluable, excruciating records of daily life in the Third Reich. My son’s school is Jewish. It’s the most reform kind of Jewish school imaginable; even Klemperer might have been comfortable here. But the building has Hebrew on its facade, so I am sitting here because I am unable to concentrate anywhere else.

☆ Robert Clary, ‘Hogan’s Heroes’ star who survived the Holocaust, dead at 96

Reuters —Paris-born actor and singer Robert Clary, who survived 31 months in Nazi concentration camps but later co-starred in “Hogan’s Heroes,” the US sitcom set in a German World War II prisoner of war (POW) camp, has died at the age of 96. “Hogan’s Heroes” starred Bob Crane as American Colonel Robert Hogan, with Richard Dawson, Larry Hovis and Ivan Dixon playing other POWs. “Hogan’s Heroes” was popular with TV viewers during its run on the CBS network and for decades afterward in syndication even though some critics considered it in bad taste. In 1980, alarm over people trying to deny the Holocaust prompted Clary to end his self-imposed silence about his experiences. He also wrote an autobiography, “From the Holocaust to Hogan’s Heroes.”“We must learn from history,” Clary told the Reno Gazette-Journal in 2002, “which we don’t.”
