The man that helped 40,000 refugees escape from Nazi occupied France
If you haven't done so yet, I highly recommend watching the movie "Schindler's List" as soon as possible. The story of bravery and sacrifice to fight against oppression to save 1,000 souls is incredibly moving, but it's important to remember that there are many more unsung heroes out there. One such hero is Gilberto Bosques, a Mexican diplomat who helped save over 40,000 souls during World War II.

7-Up With Milk Is a Revelation...
nIn early 1994, my family and I packed up our lives in the United Arab Emirates to move in with my grandmother in Lahore, Pakistan. When Ramadan began a few weeks later, in mid-February, I found that the rituals I had grown up with — the cannon being fired in Sharjah to mark the beginning of the month, being warned not to drink water on the commute to school — were replaced by different traditions: the banging of drummers patrolling the streets each morning to wake people up before the fast, and with family now nearby, interminably long evening meals at relatives’ houses.
