War and peace
It is Saturday morning and Daniel is deeply saddened by his loss in a chess game. On the same evening the ground fighting in Gaza had begun. It is my first war here with a child. I'm wandering what to do. Considering ways of escape.

Sebastian Haffner: Defying Hitler: A Memoir
A VERY important book. Autobiographical notes written by an Aryan German describing the rise of Nazism from a (seemingly) insider’s point of view. An incredible insight into the nature of us, humans, that raises countless questions. Would we resist too?Marjane Satrapi : Persepolis : The Story of a Childhood
A wonderful autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. Reading it was a unique experience for me.W. G. Sebald: Austerlitz
A masterpiece.
