2017

Josef Lorenz was born in 1846 in Badkönigswart, Austro-Hungary. Не died on 02.11.1918 in Michelsberg bei Plan, First Czechoslovak Republic. Despite the fact that he was dead, Lorenz was baptized and proclaimed Arian in 1934 right after the Nazi regime came to power in neighboring Germany. Lorenz remained Arian on paper until 2017 when a new birth certificate was made, freeing him from the burden of an idea that he never lived to see in first place.
