Maksymilian Faktorowicz (Max Factor) was born in Zdunska near Lodz, Poland in 1872. While working as a cosmetics expert within the Tsar’s palace in Russia in the early 20th century, Max witnessed the escalation of revolutionary sentiment fueling antisemitism among the population. Max was forced to flee. He obtained a visa and, at age 30, immigrated to America. He soon became a prominent figure in the Hollywood scene. Among his first clients were Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

A pioneer of cosmetics – including foundation creams, false eyelashes, and compact powder – Maksymilian Faktorowicz (Max Factor) became a household name in Hollywood when his business, Max Factor, was established in 1909. Though his vocation of “beautifying” the stars on the big screen is well known, what may be lesser known to the public, is the part he played in saving the lives of Jewish people living in Nazi Germany prior to the outbreak of World War Two.

Our new core exhibition, EverybodyHadaName, will explore Max Factor’s contribution to saving Jewish lives in the lead up to

German investors into sausage museum want to move it to a former concentration camp site

A wave of outrage has been building in Germany after the much-loved Museum of Sausages in the state of Thuringia publicized its plans on 30 January to relocate to a bigger facility near the town of Mühlhausen, where from 1944-1945 the Buchenwald concentration camp had a branch of its operations. The Nazis imprisoned almost 700 female Jewish prisoners from Hungary and Poland there, most of whom died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp after Buchenwald was closed.

Thuringian sausages are famous in Germany and the Thüringer Rostbratwurst enjoys the same popularity there as beer from Plzeň does in the Czech Republic. The museum, located in the village of Holzhausen, opened in 2006 as the first of its kind, and it has been visited recently by as many as 50 000 people every year.

The museum does not have room to cater to such a volume of visitors, so somebody came up with the idea of relocating it “from the heart of Thuringia to the heart of Germany”, as the museum’s press release states.

"If I feel a bit blue, this is the book I take off the shelf. I absorb love of life, indestructible cheeriness, optimism, good mood from it. It does good to everyone " -Istv n J. Bed /// My First Two Hundred Years is the autobiography of the Hungarian humorist and writer P l Kir lyhegyi (1900-1981). It was first published in Hungary in 1979, and re- published in 2015. /// When asked why he entitled his memoir My First Two Hundred Years, Kir lyhegyi replied, "If it's true that war years count twice, when I say I that am two hundred, I am actually pretending to be younger than my age, since I had as bosses Franz Joseph I, Horthy, Sz lasi, and even Hitler, because I worked in Auschwitz, as a simple deportee, and it is common knowledge that time there passed quite slowly, as long as one was still alive, anyway."/// In the early years of the twent
