MARCUSE'S ASHES BURIED IN BERLIN

This Tagesspiegel article is a little sad, actually: Herbert Marcuse's relatives lost track of his ashes, which were in a funeral home (the paper says, "cemetary") in lovely New Haven, CT. It's not clear from the article what made the family remember the remains, but you can read what is apparently Harold Marcuse's story, here. According to the paper, Harold Marcuse wanted to make sure that the burial happened while there was a politically sympathetic government in Berlin.
