Germany To-do:

"Most of Darmstadt's 3000 Jews were killed by the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945."
Though I do not doubt the Holocaust in general, I should add that the most German Jews did survive the Genocide through early emigration after the Nazis took power. The big bulk of killed Jews were the Jews of Eastern Europe.
[edit] September 11th 1944
The September 11 line for 1944 says that 11 500 were killed, but this page says 12 300. What are the sources for/verifiability of this?

[edit] Elements
"The chemical element Darmstadtium (atomic number: 110), first discovered at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung was named after the city in 2003, making Darmstadt only the fourth city with an element named after it (the other three are Ytterby, Sweden, Berkeley, California, and Dubna, Russia)."
The element Strontium is named for Strontian, Scotland, so I added that. However, it is more accurate to say those five cities are the only ones to have an element named after the modern form of the name. Holmium is named for the Latinized Holmia (Stockholm), Hafnium for Hafnia (Copenhagen), and Lutetium for Lutetia (Paris). I'm not sure how to say this, so anyone have a good way?
