A company part-owned by the French railroad will have to detail the railway’s role in transporting Holocaust victims to Nazi death camps before it can compete again to operate Maryland commuter trains, according to legislation that Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) is scheduled to sign Thursday. The law will make Maryland the first state to require that a company seeking government rail contracts provides all records about Nazi victims it transported and any personal belongings taken from them, supporters said.

This from Ha’aretz today: A Holocaust memorial design created by two graduate students at Columbia University’s architecture school has beaten out an Israeli design to become the winner of a competition for a memorial that will go up on the Atlantic City boardwalk. “Fractured Landscapes,” which was chosen from between the two finalists last month, is a “fractured landscape and a river of light” that “stitch together disjointed surfaces, expressing our hopes for peace,” according to the text of the submission. This raises the question, why does Atlantic City need a Holocaust Memorial? Does every dumpy little American city need a Holocaust Memorial? How about spending the money on Holocaust education? Or just education? Or something with some utility?

Outrage ensues, but that is not what is interesting to me: According to the Times , the idiot, whose name is Michael Santomauro, lives on the Upper West Side. Now why would he do that? Is he some sort of masochist? Is he keeping the perfidious Jews under close observation? Has he looked into real estate opportunities in northern Idaho?
