"We live in a world where love itself is condemned. People call it weakness, something to grow out of. Some are saying: 'Let each one become as strong as he can, and let the weak perish.'

The neo-paganism [of the Nazis] may well cast off love but, in spite of everything, history teaches us that we shall be the victors over this. We shall not forsake love." Titus Brandsma, executed at Dachau, 26 July 1942

I became interested in these old Thanksgiving menus when I found an old menu in my dad's collection of memorabilia from aboard a ship in the Pacific for Thanksgiving 1944.
The New York Public Library maintains an impressive collection of old menus.
Some day our children's children may look back on the menus from our day with similar nostalgia and wonder.
Such are the times and the currencies.
