January 18, 532: In Constantinople the Nika riots come to an end with Justinian still holding the office of Emperor. Senators opposed to Justinian took advantage of these riots, which had grown out of a dispute over chariot competition, to try and bring an end to Justinian’s imperial rule. Justinian was ready to flee the city and effectively give up his power. However, his wife refused to leave and give him the courage to stay and defeat the mob and his enemies. History does not record the views held by Justinian’s opponents concerning the Jewish people and Judaism. But it does not seem possible that the Jews could have been any worse off if they had won given Justinian’s anti-Jewish policies. For example, “Justinian ruled that ‘Jews must never enjoy the furits of office, but only its pains and penalties…They shall enjoy no honors. Their status shall reflect the baseness which in their souls they have elected and desired.’” Justinian firmly established the principle of servitus Jadaeorum (servitude of the Jews) and “the hitherto uneven pattern of persecution was systematized” as Christianity and state power became synonymous.[2]

535 CE

A volcanic eruption, almost 1500 years ago changed the weather so radically, that it may have altered the course of human history. A colossal eruption in 535 CE entombed the planet within a volcanic cloud of gas and dust. Accounts from the period say the the sun shined like the moon for a year. The drop in global temperature had huge and surprising side effects on societies around the world. Old empires were destroyed and new ones flourished. The world we live in today emerged out of this global chaos. [3]

January 18, 749: According to Michael the Syrian, several ships were sunk off the coast of Palestine and Lebanon as the result of an earthquake.[4]

781 A.D.: During the eighth century the number of pilgrims to the Holy Land increased. Some even came freom England; of whom the most famous was Willibald, who died in 781 as Bishop Eichstadt in Bavaria. In his youth he had gone to Palestine, leaving Rome in 722 and only returning there, after many disagreeable adventures, in 729.[6]

793 AD: In the first recorded attack of Vikings, in 793 A.D., they raided an undefended monastic community at Lindisfarne in the northeast of England. Alcuin of York, , an Anglo Saxon scholar, recorded the onslaught.. The Anglo-Saxon Chropnicle, a contemporary historical account, records that the Vikings waged some 50 battles and destroyed or ravaged scores of settlements. Dublin, one of the largest Viking cities in the British Isles, became a major European slave trading center, where, historians estimate, tens of thousands of kidnapped Irishmen, Scotsmen, Anglo-Saxons and others were bought and sold. [7]

January 18,1562: The Council of Trent reconvenes after a ten year break. The Council of Trent adopted additional books for inclusion in the Old Testament.This meant that the Tanach (the Hebrew Bible, or simply The Bible) and Old Testament of the Christian Bible were no longer the same texts. A discussion of the implications of this change is far beyond the scope of this daily summary.[8]

January 18, 1788: Leading elements of the First Fleet carrying 736 convicts from England to Australia arrives at Botany Bay. According to Dr Raymond Apple, Emeritus Rabbi of The Great Synagogue in Sydney, “When New South Wales was founded as a penal colony in 1788; among the 751 First Fleet convicts were at least 16 Jews.”[9]

January 18, 1803

President Jefferson asks Congress for an appropriation of $2500 to fund the Lewis and Clark Expedition.[10]

Determined to begin the American exploration of the vast mysterious regions of the Far West, President Thomas Jefferson sends a special confidential message to Congress asking for money to fund the journey of Lewis and Clark.

Jefferson had been trying to mount a western expedition of exploration since the 1790s, and his determination to do so had only grown since he became president in 1801. In summer 1802, Jefferson began actively preparing for the mission, recruiting his young personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, to be its leader. Throughout 1802, Jefferson and Lewis discussed the proposed mission, telling no one—not even Congress, which would have to approve the funds—of what they were contemplating.

Jefferson directed Lewis to draw up an estimate of expenses. Basing his calculations on a party of one officer and 10 enlisted men—the number was deliberately kept small to avoid inspiring both congressional criticisms and Indian fears of invasion—Lewis carefully added up the costs for provisions, weapons, gunpowder, scientific instruments, and a large boat. The final tally came to $2,500. The largest item was $696, earmarked for gifts to Indians.

Following the advice of his secretary of the treasury, Albert Gallatin, Jefferson decided not to include the request in his general proposed annual budget, since it involved exploration outside of the nation's own territory. Instead, on January 18, 1803, he sent a special secret message to Congress asking for the money, taking pains to stress that the proposed exploration would be an aid to American commerce. Jefferson noted that the Indians along the proposed route of exploration up the Missouri River "furnish a great supply of furs & pelts to the trade of another nation carried on in a high latitude." If a route into this territory existed, "possibly with a single portage, from the Western ocean," Jefferson suggested Americans might have a superior means of exploiting the fur trade. Though carefully couched in diplomatic language, Jefferson's message to Congress was clear: a U.S. expedition might be able to steal the fur trade from the British and find the long hoped-for Northwest passage to the Pacific.

Despite some mild resistance from Federalists who never saw any point in spending money on the West, Jefferson's carefully worded request prevailed, and Congress approved the $2,500 appropriation by a sizeable margin. It no doubt seemed trivial in comparison to the $9,375,000 they had approved a week earlier for the Louisiana Purchase, which brought much of the territory Jefferson was proposing to explore under American control.

With financing now assured, Lewis immediately began preparing for the expedition. Recruiting his old military friend, William Clark, to be his co-captain, the Corps of Discovery departed on their epic exploration of the uncharted regions in spring 1804.[11]

1803: President Thomas Jefferson to ancestor William Henry Harrison, Governor of the Indiana Territory, 1803

You will receive from the Secretary of War … from time to time information and instructions as to our Indian affairs. These communications being for the public records, are restrained always to particular objects and occasions; but this letter being unofficial and private, I may with safety give you a more extensive view of our policy respecting the Indians, that you may the better comprehend the parts dealt out to you in detail through the official channel, and observing the system of which they make a part, conduct yourself in unison with it in cases where you are obliged to act without instruction. Our system is to live in perpetual peace with the Indians, to cultivate an affectionate attachment from them, by everything just and liberal which we can do for them within the bounds of reason, and by giving them effectual protection against wrongs from our own people. The decrease of game rendering their subsistence by hunting insufficient, we wish to draw them to agriculture, to spinning and weaving. The latter branches they take up with great readiness, because they fall to the women, who gain by quitting the labors of the field for, those which are exercised within doors. When they withdraw themselves to the culture of a small piece of land, they will perceive how useless to them are their extensive forests, and will be willing to pare them off from time to time in exchange for necessaries for their farms and families. To promote this disposition to exchange lands, which they have to spare and we want, for necessaries, which we have to spare and they want, we shall push our trading uses, and be glad to see the good and influential individuals among them run in debt, because we observe that when these debts get beyond what the individuals can pay, they become willing to lop them off by a cession of lands. At our trading houses, too, we mean to sell so low as merely to repay us cost and charges, so as neither to lessen or enlarge our capital. This is what private traders cannot do, for they must gain; they will consequently retire from the competition, and we shall thus get clear of this pest without giving offence or umbrage to the Indians. In this way our settlements will gradually circumscribe and approach the Indians, and they will in time either incorporate with us a citizens or the United States, or remove beyond the Mississippi. The former is certainly the termination of their history most happy for themselves; but, in the whole course of this, it is essential to cultivate their love. As to their fear, we presume that our strength and their weakness is now so visible that they must see we have only to shut our hand to crush them, and that all our liberalities to them proceed from motives of pure humanity only. Should any tribe be foolhardy enough to take up the hatchet at any time, the seizing the whole country of that tribe, and driving them across the Mississippi, as the only condition of peace, would be an example to others, and a furtherance of our final consolidation.[12]

1803-1807 Ancestor William McCormick was an Auditor of Bullskin Township.[13]





This photograph was taken during a driving tropical rain in Boston and through an iron fence at the Granary Burying Grounds. The stone marks the tomb of Samuel Adams, the “organizer of the Revolution”. It is often said that it was Hancock’s money and Adams’ brains that fueled the revolt. Adams’ fiery speeches, combined with his deft political maneuvering, kept public passions aroused for years.

Appropriately next to Adam’ grave is that of the five victims of the Boston Massacre: Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks, and Patrick Carr. Buried with them is Christopher Snider, a young boy killed by a Tory in another incident 11 days earlier. He was the first victim of the struggles between the colonists and the3 mother country.

In 1803 the U.S.S. Constitution sailed to Africa’s northern coast, where the Barbary corsairs were menacing American commerce. By subduing the “haughty tyrant of Tripoli” a nation now known as Libya, Commodore Edward Preble won the frigate her first major victory.[16]

Lutheran Cemetery, was situated about one hundred and fifty yards northwest of the railroad depot. The exact number of graves of Union soldiers buried in this Cemetery could not be ascertained, on account of the indiscriminate burial of rebels in the same ground; also on account of the irregularity of the graves, and of the want of head-boards.



In this (Lutheran Cemetery, North Carolina) Cemetery were buried fourteen (14) Union soldiers, who, upon taking the oath of allegiance to the rebel government, were admitted into the rebel hospital, where they afterwards died. There is no record of State, regiment, or arm of service of these men; no head-boards at their graves; and therefore they cannot be identified.



The bodies from this Cemetery, and some others from the vicinity of Salisbury, estimated in all at about one hundred (100) in number, are now being re-interred in the principal Cemetery.[20]

In January 1865, Colonel York, who had lost an arm in the service, complained to General Robert E. Lee that he had between six and seven hundred recruits (Official Records, 4, III, 1029) but was unable to obtain any quartermaster's supplies for them. (Quartermaster's Letters, chapter V, vol. 20, p. 410.)

January 18th, 1865: We saw land at daylight in the morning. The sea was quite calm. This morning we saw several other vessels that had left Baltimore 2 and 3 days before we did. They was laying here waiting for a pilot. We stopped here a short time then got a pilot. Quite a number of the other vessels went back to Hilton Head. Our vessel and the Steam Ship Hudson New York went up the Warsaw Sound and entered into the Savannah River about a mile below the city, the river being full of obstructions between that and the mouth of the river so that it was not safe for a sea going vessel to go in at the mouth of the river. Here we cast anchor and a river steamer came to us. Gen. Grover and 2 of his staff went on board of her and went on up to the city. We laid at anchor that night.[22]

We had one man died on board and was buried on the bank of the river. He belonged to the 176th Regiment NY. The land on each side of the river was very low & marshy once apparently nothing but sand. The weather was warm and pleasant. But commenced to rain in the evening.[23]

January 1869: From the onset of the violence used by the Klu Klux Klan General Forest was against the terror. He ordered the Klan disbanded, its records destroyed, its robes burned. Some local Klans adhered to the order, many did not.[24]

January 18, 1912: President Taft received a delegation representing the American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers led by Louis N. Hammerling. Mr. Taft said he favored admission of desirable immigrants, but immigration laws should be strictly enforced. The issue of immigration is especially sensitive for American Jews. Attempts to limit immigration from eastern and southern Europe were seen, in part, as an attempt to keep Jews from Russia, Romania and Poland from entering the United States. The term “desirable immigrants” was often used as a code to describe those coming from Western Europe and Scandinavia. To add to the complexity of the issue, Jews of Germanic origins were concerned about the influx of Jews from Eastern Europe. They were afraid that this onslaught of what they considered “the great unwashed” would bring on a wave of anti-Semitism in the United States.[27]

Wm. H. Goodlove (great-grandfather of Winton D. Goodlove) died. Burial at Jordan’s Grove Cemetery.[28]

January 18, 1919: On this day in Paris, France, some of the most powerful people in the world meet to begin the long, complicated negotiations that would officially mark the end of the First World War.

Leaders of the victorious Allied powers--France, Great Britain, the United States and Italy--would make most of the crucial decisions in Paris over the next six months. For most of the conference, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson struggled to support his idea of a "peace without victory" and make sure that Germany, the leader of the Central Powers and the major loser of the war, was not treated too harshly. On the other hand, Prime Ministers Georges Clemenceau of France and David Lloyd George of Britain argued that punishing Germany adequately and ensuring its weakness was the only way to justify the immense costs of the war. In the end, Wilson compromised on the treatment of Germany in order to push through the creation of his pet project, an international peacekeeping organization called the League of Nations.

Representatives from Germany were excluded from the peace conference until May, when they arrived in Paris and were presented with a draft of the Versailles Treaty. Having put great faith in Wilson's promises, the Germans were deeply frustrated and disillusioned by the treaty, which required them to forfeit a great deal of territory and pay reparations. Even worse, the infamous Article 231 forced Germany to accept sole blame for the war. This was a bitter pill many Germans could not swallow.

The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, five years to the day after a Serbian nationalist's bullet ended the life of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and sparked the beginning of World War I. In the decades to come, anger and resentment of the treaty and its authors festered in Germany. Extremists like Adolf Hitler's National Socialist (Nazi) Party capitalized on these emotions to gain power, a process that led almost directly to the exact thing Wilson and the other negotiators in Paris in 1919 had wanted to prevent--a second, equally devastating global war.[29]

1919

During the negotiations in Paris to determine the German reparations to be paid because of their responsibility in WWI the Germans send three expert Jewish bankers named Notger, Worberg and Wasser feeling that they will ensure the best possible treaty. 500,000 Jews fought in the German army. [30]



The terms of the treaty are harsher than the Germans ever imagined. Germany will be paralysed for generations.



“Gentlemen,

We have no illusions about the extent of our powerlessness. We know the force of German weapons is crushed. We recognize the power of hatred facing us and we heard the passionate demand that the victors shall make us pay as the defeated ones and punish us as the conquered ones. We are expected to admit that we alone are guilty. For me, to make such an admission would be a lie. The treaty which our enemies have laid before us is, in so far as the French dictated it, is a monument of pathological fear and pathological hatred, and in so far as the Anglo-Saxons dictated it, it is the work of a capitalistic policy of the most brutal and capitalistic kind.



Brockdorff Rantzau



The German negotiators quit. After five months of negotiations, Italy’s government falls. Mussolini, is in. The mapmakers have redrawn the borders of Europe, the Middle East, the far East and Africa.



Two days before the signing, the Germans scuttle their entire fleet. Their pride wont let the Allies have their warships.



The Treaty of Versaille will be signed. It will be repudiated by the Germans. Germany will pay 10 Billion dollars. China will not sign. Wilson has alienated a half billion people. Vittorio Orlando does not sign, and does not get his port. Benito Mussolini promises to do better. Wilson returns to lobby for the League of Nations.

The Great War is finally over. [31]





January 18, 1943: More than 5,000 Jews are deported from Warsaw and are killed. In rounding up people, the Germans went through the homes killing people, throwing them out of windows, and looting whatever they could[32]. The first Warsaw ghetto uprising breaks out.[33]

On July 18, 1942, Heinrich Himmler promoted Auschwitz camp commandant Rudolf Hess to SS major. He also ordered that the Warsaw ghetto, the Jewish quarter constructed by the Nazis upon the occupation of Poland and enclosed first by barbed wire and then by brick walls, be depopulated—a "total cleansing," as he described it. The inhabitants were to be transported to what became a second extermination camp constructed at the railway village of Treblinka, 62 miles northeast of Warsaw.

Within the first seven weeks of Himmler's order, more than 250,000 Jews were taken to Treblinka by rail and gassed to death, marking the largest single act of destruction of any population group, Jewish or non-Jewish, civilian or military, in the war. Upon arrival at "T. II," as this second camp at Treblinka was called, prisoners were separated by sex, stripped, and marched into what were described as "bathhouses," but were in fact gas chambers. T. II's first commandant was Dr. Irmfried Eberl, age 32, the man who had headed up the euthanasia program of 1940 and had much experience with the gassing of victims, especially children. He was assisted in his duties by several hundred Ukrainian and about 1,500 Jewish prisoners, who removed gold teeth from victims before hauling the bodies to mass graves.

In January 1943, after a four-month hiatus, the deportations started up again. A German SS unit entered the ghetto and began rounding up its denizens—but they did not go without a fight. Six hundred Jews were killed in the streets as they struggled with the Germans. Rebels with smuggled firearms opened fire on the SS troops. The Germans returned fire—machine-gun fire against the Jews' pistol shots. Nine Jewish rebels fell—as did several Germans. The fighting continued for days, with the Jews refusing to surrender and even taking arms from their Germans persecutors in surprise attacks.

Amazingly, the Germans withdrew from the ghetto in the face of the unexpected resistance. They likely did not realize how few armed resisters there were, but the fact that resistance was given at all intimidated them. But there was no happy ending. Before this new incursion into the ghetto was over, 6,000 more Jews were transported to their likely deaths at Treblinka.[34]

January 18, 1944: German armored forces surrounded the forest near Buczac, Poland. They killed three hundred Jews who had been hiding in the forest for the past nine months. Some of the Jews of Buczaz had taken part in armed resistance against the Nazis. This remnant had taken to the woods after the final roundup of Jews in the town. During their time in hiding, they attacked Nazis as well as members of the local populations who had betrayed the Jews to the Germans..[35]

January 18, 1945: A count was made of remaining prisoners in the assorted labor and concentration camps:
• Birkenau; 15,058 Jews remained.
• Auschwitz: 16,226 People remained, mostly Poles.
• Monowitz; 10,233 Jews, Poles and assorted prisoners remained.
• Factories of Auschwitz: Another 16,000 Jews, Poles and prisoners.[36]

January 18, 1945: Acting on orders from Berlin, the SS begins a massive, on-foot evacuation of all prisoners and slave laborers at the Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Monowitz camps and from the Auschwitz region (Upper Silesia, Poland). Of the thousands of marchers, most die from exposure, exhaustion, and abuse on their way to their destinations. Boys evacuated from Birkenau march toward Mauthausen, Austria. Many of the boys are on "cart commando" duty; i.e., harnessed to enormous carts in groups of 20.[37]
