World's oldest person, last survivor of 19th century, dies in Japan at 117

The century of Lincoln, Darwin and Van Gogh has quietly passed into history with the death of the world's oldest known person and last survivor of the 19th century.

Nabi Tajima, 117, died in a hospital Saturday in Kikai, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan's Kyodo News reported. Tajima had been mostly bedridden at a nursing home in recent years. She was hospitalized about a month ago, family members told the news service.

  Watch the film "Jew Suss" and see for yourself what filthy race we are dealing with. Jew has always been the real enemy.

  Incidentally, I recently did for a class. Tune out the obvious antisemitic inlays, and you are left with a timeless story of a boss (the duke) bypassing the establishment racist swamp (the council) to bring in a talented administrator (the jew) who improves infrastructure and gives free business lessons. Suddenly, the boss dies of a heart attack, and the establishment scum takes horrible revenge on the administrator.
