Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, delivered the most severe criticism of Donald Trump we’ve witnessed so far regarding Greenland. It’s quite remarkable.
20 January 1914 | An Italian Jew, Armando Pache, was born in Rome. He lived in Venice and was a merchant.
He was deported to #Auschwitz in March 1943. He did not survive.
