As is now customary, the Germans celebrate the new year with special events at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate.
As the clocks struck 00.00 the choirs on the Fan Mile sang out Beethoven's Ode to Joy, the anthem of the European Union.
A far cry from a city which on January 1, 1934 made a law for the prevention of genetically diseased offspring. In other words, all such children were to be aborted.
Happy new year to all readers of this blog and may 2019 be kind to you.
