@rah 20 September 2022 more from that month

Since I am up so early and start work at 9.20 I am watching The Pianst, the remarkable story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jew who survived in Warsaw during the Second World War. A very powerful and moving film and to be recommended if you haven't already seen it. One of the things that makes it stand out is the humanity of certain individuals in such bleak times without the stereotyping that culminates with the "helpful German". Doesn't matter what religion you are (or not) it showcases the disgrace of how people can treat others. A warning from history....
