The Fall of the Berlin Wal
On the night of November 9, 1989, something extraordinary happened in the heart of Europe. A concrete wall that had divided families, ideologies, and an entire nation for nearly three decades suddenly lost its power.

D-Day
Before dawn on June 6, 1944, the fate of Europe hung in the balance. Across the English Channel, thousands of Allied soldiers waited in silence, packed into landing craft, knowing that many of them would not return. Ahead lay the beaches of Normandy, heavily fortified by Nazi Germany. What followed would become known as D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in human history—and a decisive turning point in World War II.

saving the present from the past. Content Warning.
I recently wrote about comparing modern people to Nazis. This was shortly after visiting the site of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp. One of the things the guide told us resonated with me, children, soldiers and visiting soldiers come here as a warning.

The History of Sheikh’s Spear
It wasn't always called Sheikh’s Spear. In the beginning, it was just a length of strong, straight wood, chosen from an acacia tree that grew alone in a dry valley. The man who found it was a young herder named Khalil. He needed something to guide his goats and lean on during long walks. He smoothed the wood with sand and stone until it felt like a part of his own arm.

THE HOUSE THAT NEVER LET GO
On the southeastern shore of Loch Ness, where the water looks black even on bright days and the hills seem to lean inward, stands a white house that was never meant to be ordinary. Boleskine House does not announce itself with screams or shattered windows. It sits quietly, almost politely, as if nothing has ever gone wrong there.
