Today would have been Sophie Scholls 100th birthday and being somewhat of a historian, I feel compelled to work this event into my newsletter. For those that never heard of her, she was a member of a resistance group during the Third Reich, named the White Rose. Sophie along with her brother Hans and several others […]
The pandemic is over- or is it? One of the most fascinating aspects of the whole covid situation is that there is no one Covid experience. There is only your experience that day which depends on geography, gender, relationship statue, income etc etc. In certain parts of the world, things are getting better and there might […]
