Explain to me!

This is August Landmesser. He had been engaged to a Jewish woman, Irma Eckler, but the Nazi Nuremberg Laws of 1935 prevented him from marrying her; nonetheless they went on to have two daughters. Tragically, Irma later died in the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Landmesser was also imprisoned, charged with ‘dishonouring the race’, sent to a concentration camp and, after his release and forced conscription, died on the Eastern Front.

Sinceriously

This is one of those great words that I will never remember when it's relevant or useful to me

Haha, I had to reread sinceriously several times to work out that the original word was "sincerely", well played, I seriously sincerely think sinceriously is a great word.
