Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Schönberg had spent the whole day in bed suffering from triskaidekaphobia. On his seventy-sixth birthday, his friend, mentor and fellow composer Oskar Adler wrote Schönberg a note warning him that the year was a critical one: 7 + 6 = 13. This stunned and depressed the composer, for up to that point he had only been wary of multiples of 13 and never considered adding the digits of his age.
(13 July 1951)



There are 3369 births, 3934 deaths, 1121 murders, 498 disasters and 2076 other events about 5727 people in 6434 places until today.

Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar is an ongoing project since 1985 by DDV.
