The Brits remember their Gunpoweder plot by a simple rhyme:

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason

Remember remember the Second of May
Manslaughter, murder, flesh burnt.
That’s enough of a reason that Odessa massacre
Should never be forgot…

UPDATE 2024:

10 years later, The Shieldmaiden from our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” came up with this powerful variation on the rhyme:

Remember that day, the Second of May
Nazi-goons, arson, and shots
Best of reasons we have that Odessa massacre
Should never be forgot.

UPDATE 2025: A fiery tribute poem, translated by Putinger’s Cat:
