The Theocrat

I discovered my 13th Great Grand Fathers full name. Before I came along all we knew about him was his name was Lewis. I am astounded.

"Anti-Semitism is not Christian." "That means that it is Christian to allow the Jews to go on as they are, stripping the skin from our bodies and mocking us. To be a Christian means to love one’s neighbor as oneself! My neighbor is my racial and blood brother. If I love him, I have to hate his enemies. He who thinks German must despise the Jews. The one requires the other. Christ himself saw that love did not always work. When he found the moneychangers in the temple, he did not say: “Children, love one another!” He took up a whip and drove them out. We oppose the Jews because we affirm the German people. The Jew is our greatest misfortune. 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐡 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐬 Propaganda Minister and Gauleiter (district leader) of Berlin in: Those Damned Nazis, 1929. @DerSturm83v2

Birr Castle Demesne, Offaly, Ireland, Birr Castle (Caisleán Bhiorra) is a large castle in the town of Birr in County Offaly, Ireland. It is the home of the 7th Earl of Rosse and his family, and as such the residential areas of the castle are not open to the public, though the grounds and gardens of the demesne are publicly accessible, and include a science museum and a café. There was a time in the 19th Century when, if you wanted to peer deeper into space than anyone on Earth had done before, Ireland was the place to go. Situated in the grounds of Birr Castle in the Irish midlands sat the Leviathan of Parsonstown, a 72-inch reflecting telescope the like of which had never been seen before. The telescope was built by William Parsons, the third Earl of Rosse, and completed in 1845. At the time, it was the biggest telescope in the world and today it stands proudly in the castle demesne, refurbished and modernised, its history proudly preserved in the adjoining Historic Science Centre.
