Amateuremigrant ·
With so much disinformation and plain ignorance about our recent history, it can sometimes takes a harrowing experience to bring home the scale of man's inhumanity to man. And to remember it didn't start this way, but with small injustices and prejudices that dehumanise some scapegoated section of society. Beware weasel words.

Re: Our Gloomy Visit to Dachau Concentration Camp

Paul Heymont ·
Rereading your essay after several years reminded me how important it is that we not let the 'big issues' of our times and of our past become just words and stories in a museum. It is so important to be in and feel actual places, and to remember that these events happened not to countries or movements or the like, but to ordinary people who were like ourselves. Thank you.

Re: The Royal Chapel, Stockholm

christianbarber ·
My favourite place in Stockholm as I fell in love with the architecture. It's such a sober coloring and it did took my breath away (even I might sound over exaggerating but that's how I felt). Definitely worth a visit even it's short or take your time to observe the detail (even pictures can't justify its beauty).
