Finding Buchenwald.

CNN James Hoyt delivered mail in rural Iowa for more than 30 years. Yet Hoyt had long kept a secret from those who knew him best: He was one of the four U.S. soldiers to first see Germany’s Buchenwald concentration camp. Hoyt died Monday at his home in Oxford, Iowa, a town of about 600 people where he had lived his entire life. He was 83. —– Hoyt had rarely spoken about that day in 1945, but he recently opened up to a journalist. “There were thousands of bodies piled high. I saw hearts t read

Panorama über den brutalen Angriff auf eine 13-Jährige

Mitte Juli  im hessischen Schwalm-Eder Kreis, wieder ein brutaler Angriff eines Nazis. Kevin S. überfällt  ein schlafendes 13-jähriges Mädchen, schlägt sie fast tot.

Darin lagen die 13-Jährige und ih read

Hong Kong – Mauthausen

di Irene Campari “ … così la mia chioma bionda, anche senza salvarmi, costituiva un gradino sulla ripida scala della sopravvivenza” Piotr Rawicz, Il sangue del cielo. Nell’estate del ’93 alcuni colleghi del Politecnico mi invitano ad andare con loro da Vienna a Linz in bicicletta seguendo il Danubio. Sono circa 300 chilometri. Lascio organizzare; da quando mi sono trasferita in Austria vivo intense malinconie. Imparo il tedesco dalle 8 alle 12 all’istituto del dr. Rampitch in Mariahilferstr read

Durant la nuit

Evelyne fut réveillée par des bruits sourds et confus provenant de la rue. Les bruits s’amplifiaient peu à peu et elle se précipita dans le noir vers la fenêtre pour observer ce qui se passait en-dessous. Elle vit alors une longue colonne de camions qui avançaient lentement et s’arrêtèrent bientôt au bout de la rue. Des soldats en descendirent, armés de pioches et se mirent aussitôt à dépaver. Dans d’autres camions se trouvaient d’énormes bobines de fils de fer barbelés que les hommes s’empres read

Slovenians make fab food!

Most people don't know this - on my mum's side I am only first generation Australian - you see, she was born in Slovenia! That's a tiny little country smaller than my state, to the right of Italy, below Austria, and bordering with Croatia and Serbia. Mum and I visited Slovenia and Italy in the year 2000, and met up with family she hadn't seen since she was a girl. It was such a blast, and so incredible to see where my mother was born (yes, saw the actual hospital which is now empty). It's one read

I have found my super-villain citadel.

I give you Predjamski Grad. Located near Postojna, Slovenia, this castle butts up to the side of the mountain and it is built directly into the caves behind it. There isn’t even a back side to the castle, it just empties out into the natural limestone caves. From the Wikipedia article: Castle was first mentioned in year 1274, then named Luegg, when Aquileian patriarchs built the castle in gothic style. The castle was built under a natural rocky arch high in the stone wall to make access to read

Un recorrido por Eslovenia. Ljubljana, Bled, Postojna…

Entre las cosas que podemos visitar en Eslovenia yo resaltaría las siguientes: -Ljubljana: Es la capital y como tal hay que verla, pasear por sus calles, ver el mercado d read

El Castillo de Predjama, el castillo dentro de una cueva

El Castillo de Predjama es uno de los mayores atractivos turísticos de Eslovenia. Su atractivo no es sólo debido a la espectacularidad de su emplazamiento en la boca de una cueva en medio de un precipicio de 123 metros, sino también a la peculiar historia de la muerte en él del Barón Erazem Lueguer, una especie de Robin Hood esloveno que atacaba las caravanas de mercaderes de la importante ruta que unía Viena Con Trieste. Este castillo muy probablemente fue construido en el siglo XII, pero la p read
