September 11, 2001 was the day of the attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon building. November 9 was a fatal day in German history for four reasons: 1) 11/9/1918 - Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany abdicates after the German Revolution, and Germany is proclaimed a Republic 2) 11/9/1923, The failed coup by Hitler in Bavaria 3) 11/9/1938, The 'Kristallnacht', the day of pogroms against Jews in Germany 4) 11/9/1990, the day the Berlin wall fell. Incidently, on 11/9/1921 Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work with the photoelectric effect, See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_9 Andreas J.
