After a pledge to do his best in office, a ride down Merrion Street to Government buildings, a lunch with Prime Minister de Valera, the President-elect, nicknamed by Gaelic enthusiasts as An Craoibhin Aoibhinn ("the delightful little branch") after a line in one of his poems, went to inspect what will be his official home after he takes office on June 1. The granite viceregal lodge, seat of hated British power in old Ireland, resembling Washington's White House, situated in wooded, spacious Phoenix Park, will now be known as Arus an Uachtarian ("President's Residence...
Herr Ossietsky was not only anti-Nazi but deeply against all German militarism.

...three simultaneous exhibitions of her work in Manhattan. Whether or not the rumor was a bit of gratuitous promotion, visitors to the three shows needed no prodding to deplore Nazi treatment of the artist. No abstractionist. Kathe Kollwitz is a weighty, marvelously skilled draftsman in the great 19th-Century line. It is her subject matter, always proletarian, bitterly naturalistic and sorrowful, that rules her out of the "Strength through Joy" school...
