Steven Spielberg with the girl in the red coat, behind the scenes 'Schindler's List'  In his book 'Schindler's Ark', Thomas Keneally tells about Oskar Schindler, on horseback, as he views the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto from atop an adjacent hill. The child in red compells Schindler's attention, and his mistress Ingrid comments that the child must be female, because little girls get obsessed by colour, especially a bright shade of red like that. In the beginning the SS guard corrects her drift and nudges her back into line. Schindler can not see why he does not bludgeon her with his rifle butt, since at the other end of Krakusa Street mercy has been cancelled. "At last Schindler slithered from his horse, tripped, and found himself on his knees hugging the trunk of a pine tree. The urge to throw up his excellent breakfast was, he sensed, to be suppressed, for he suspected it meant that all his cunning body was doing was making room to digest the horrors of Krakusa Street. Later in the day, after he had absorbed a ration of brandy, Oscar understood ... they permitted witnesses, such witnesses as the red toddler, because they believed all the witnesses would perish too ...

 On a hot August night in 1973, Clive Campbell, known as DJ Kool Herc, and his sister Cindy put on a ‘back to school jam’ in the recreation room of their apartment block at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the west Bronx. Entrance cost 25c for ‘ladies’ and 50c for ‘fellas’. The party wasn’t special for its size – the rec room could only hold a few hundred people. Its venue and location weren’t particularly auspicious. Yet it marked a turning point – a spark which would ignite an international movement that is still with us today. As Kool Herc said in a recent statement: “This first hip-hop party would change the world.” www.bbc.com/culture/story/20130809-the-party-where-hip-hop-was-born |

nuclear shadow in Hiroshima Harrowing as fuck these images. seriously. I'm glad they're still visible though. like the bullet holes in Berlin, I don't know how anyone could pass by and not be ashamed of the way humans have treated other humans, and hopefully come away with some added compassion and empathy |

Obama's visit was a nice touch, although should have been done much sooner by a previous president. |

according to Ms. Friedman, neither: "I saw, on the lighted bill board that goes around the building. .. ‘V-J Day, V-J Day!’ That really confirmed what the people had said in the office. Suddenly, I was grabbed by a sailor. It wasn’t that much of a kiss. It was more of a jubilant act that he didn’t have to go back. I found out later he was so happy that he didn’t have to go back to the Pacific where they had already been through the war. The reason he grabbed somebody dressed like a nurse, that he felt so very grateful to the nurses who took care of the wounded...... They were happy, they didn’t have to go back to war. They’d had enough!...I’m not sure about the kiss… it was just somebody celebrating. It wasn’t a romantic event. It was just an event of ‘thank god the war is over’ … it was right in front of the sign." "It’s kind of fun, because it’s very accidental. Fame for just being there…being dressed right. Actually, the fame belongs to the photographer. He provided an art… I can’t call it a skill. He was an artist. I just happened to be there…. and so did George.... We send Christmas cards and [George] has a very lovely wife and I have talked to her. Were not friends to see each other, but through this happening we have something in common" “I can’t think of anybody who considered that as an assault,” said Friedman, who exchanges Christmas cards with Mendonsa every year and has appeared with him at several reunion events. “It was a happy event.” 'Both Mendonsa and Friedman acknowledged the kiss was a surprise but that it was not unwelcome or offensive. Mendonsa was just excited that he didn’t have to return to war, and thankful for the nurses who cared for his wounded shipmates.'  tyleroakley.com/post/39910767304/vastderp-vastderp-elanorpam |

nuclear shadow in Hiroshima Really is an amazing place to visit very different from auschwitz in that it's a very screen peaceful reminder of the horror that happened. It also like Aushwitz does have a profound affect on you. Note not implying any status just that they are very different as are the reasons etc behind each |
