JL;DR SUMMARY Kurt Yaakov Tutter, a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor, has successfully spearheaded the creation of the Wall of Names in Vienna to memorialize Austria's 64,440 Jewish Holocaust victims, including his parents.

  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
