At no evening, football was as unimportant as in the night from Friday, November 13 to Saturday, November 14. The fact that Germany lost the friendly match against France 2 to 0, was probably not interesting for anyone.

Was Paris uns lehren sollte…
An wohl keinem Abend war Fußball so unwichtig, wie in der Nacht von Freitag, dem 13. November zu Samstag, den 14. Dass Deutschland im Freundschaftsspiel gegen Frankreich 2:0 verloren hat, interessiert wohl kaum jemanden.
On My Own Behalf: #NoNazis
Heidenau is a synonymous in those hours. The small town in the Saxon Switzerland with about 16,000 inhabitants was just a household name before the refugees.

Today I could spend some hours in the Concentration Camp in Dachau. Such a place full of silence and cruelty. It is over my head what was going on there more than 70 years ago. Prisoners were forced to do the most terrible things you can imagine. They were living together in small barracks which…

Über Zeit und Raum hinaus
In den letzten 26 Jahren habe ich mehr als 150.000 Kilometer auf meinem Weg zurückgelegt. Ich war in Indien und Brasilien, habe New York und London besucht, bin im Mittelmeer geschwommen und den Vesuv hinaufgestiegen. Aber ich bin noch lange nicht satt. Die Fernweh hat mich infiziert.
