digital video montage dealing with guillotine execution in the early part of the 20th century; most notably that of eugene weidmann in 1939. the enthusiasm of the crowd, as well as the fact that the event was filmed from an apartment window, became major factors in the french governments decision to ban public executions. as a result, the weidmann execution was the last public guillotining in france before the death penalty was finally abolished in 1981. musical setting is the viola solo "elegie" by igor stravinsky, performed by miles hoffman..

I heard years ago on a documentary that the nazis used the guillotine more than the french did.

@Neemeess french didn't invent it. there were machines similar in use in other countries.
(look up Brown Bess, par ex.) french made it more efficient by angling the blade. so,
instead of chopping, it sliced.

@ipage1 Thank you commenting. Most humans are heavily conditioned by religion and misconception on life. Each one that awakes from the daylight dream is an enormous step because he enlightens all around without doing anything. So, if you "know" you become responsible. Waken up and we will be just fine.

@kduideo Forget "like jews", how about like a person (you) whose wording is as confusing as their thought "process".
