QUES: In 1943, Barcelona faced rivals Real Madrid in the semi-finals of Copa del Generalisimo (now the Copa del Rey). The first match at Les Corts was won by Barcelona 30. Real Madrid comfortably won the second leg, beating Barcelona 111. According to football writer Sid Lowe, "There have been relatively few mentions of the game [since] and it is not a result that has been particularly celebrated in Madrid.

Upon assimilating into German culture, the Jewish German peoples incorporated major parts of the German language and elements of other European languages into a mixed language known as Yiddish. However tolerance and assimilation of Jews in German society suddenly ended during the Crusades with many Jews being forcefully expelled from Germany and Western Yiddish disappeared as a language in Germany over the centuries, with German Jewish people fully adopting the German language.
