Erstmals nach 1945 sind extrem Rechte zweitstärkste Partei. Das ist bitter, zumal die liberalen Demokratien auch von Putin und Trump in die Zange genommen werden. Für die demokrat. Mehrheit kommt es nun darauf an, pro EU, pro Humanität und pro liberale Demokratie zu streiten.
This moment really encapsulates a question at the heart of my research: how do survivors pass down their memories? What is preserved and what is left unsaid?
