Great Blood Purge in Germany - June 30, 1934To preempt a plot against the National Socialist regime, Chancellor Adolf Hitler summarily executed 77 people, many of whom had been significant leaders of the party. This drastic move was directed against the more radical, social revolutionary wing of the National Socialist party who advocated the incorporation of the Storm Troops (party forces) into the Wehrmacht and called for radical property redistribution. Leading victims included General Kurt von Schleicher, Ernst Roehm (pictured above), Gregor Strasser, and Erich Klausener.

Didn't go to church or Sunday school. Daddy and Mr. Richards caught three fish and we had them for dinner. Mrs. Raifert and us went to Troost Lake.
The old Lakeside Hospital at 2801 Flora, overlooking Troost Lake from the southeast side, is pictured on a post card published in the early 1930s.

Mother and I went to town. She got shoes and some other things, and I got a pair of hose and some make-up stuff.
The gradual emancipation of women through the 1920s brought with it an independence of action, and there is no bolder way to express your femininity than with make-up. Without a doubt, the art of women’s make-up took off in strides during the 1930′s with the help of Hollywood glamour and the new rage of full color fashion magazines. Max Factor and Elisabeth Arden were becoming household names.The 1930s woman’s makeup look was much more refined than in the 1920s.
