I think these obits are interesting for various reasons, but some of them I’m only going to cover briefly.
Edgar Feuchtwanger, Adolf Hitler’x neighbor in Munich during the 1930s. Across the street, not next door. His family was forced out of Germany in 1939.
There are limits to what I am willing to subject my readers to, which is why I am not embedding “Heil Honey I’m Home!” here.
Robert Jay Lifton, psychiatrist and author. (The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide, Destroying the World to Save It: Aum Shinrikyo, Apocalyptic Violence, and the New Global Terrorism).
Steve Hayden, advertising guy. He wrote the Apple “1984” commercial.
Patrick Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway’s second son (by Pauline Pfeiffer). He was 97.
I think everyone knows about my policy on obits for children of celebrities, but Patrick had an interesting life (as you might expect). He ran a safari compnay in Tanganyika, finished his dad’s True at First Light, and taught at the College of African Wildlife Management.
He was Hemingway’s last surviving child.
