That story about the three guards arrested is the result of the “Operation Last Chance” campaign launched by the US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center aimed at tracking down the last surviving Nazi war criminals, bringing them to justice and offering rewards up to 25,000 € for useful information.The fact is that, 70 years after, the number of survivors both victims and executioners are disappearing by natural laws of life. I hardly understand the reasons for this "last chance operation". Although the victims via the Wiesenthal Centre are unwilling to give up and still expect anyone who harmed, killed or even was involved in the Holocaust to be chastized until the last.The big fishes have been caught or are dead but not hiding anymore, now the smaller ones are targetted until no more. Just like in fishery businesses.I wonder if one day I will be prosecuted because I walked in the wrong street a long time ago.The centre says his (John Demjanjuk) conviction set a precedent allowing German prosecutors to reopen hundreds of investigations and prosecute former camp guards as accessories to murder, even if there was no proof the defendants personally killed anyone. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-23428997So it goes.....seventy years later. And 2023? Might we have yet another poster......one more last extra chance? Well....yeah. Heck, there might even be a poster in 2033. http://schnitzelrepublic.blogspot.be/2013/07/the-german-poster-last-chance.htmlSpät aber nicht zu spät - Late but not too late
“How soon is too soon to make movies about war”This article is quite interesting about how movies are showing the war during time. From The Longest Day to Saving private Ryan and from Green berets to Platoon, war movies shape the way we see wars.Personaly, one of my favourite movie about the Vietnam war is [url url=http://The 317th Platoon]The 317th Platoon [/url]Now there is two new movies about Afghanistan: The Patrol and Lone Survivor.How will they really reflect the realities of the conflict?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-26030435
Just like Pyrrho of Elis: nothing can be known for certain. The senses are easily fooled, and reason follows too easily our desires. I agree that scepticism should be the attitude that must prevail about any aspect of beliefs, especially towards any kind of dogmatism.And Scout's words of wisdom are particularly true : "neither will ever really be proved to be big "T" truth"However I think those researches were published according to a scientific method: intended to be as objective as possible in order to reduce biased interpretations of results and available for careful scrutiny by other scientists (full disclosure) TMO it's more interesting to check the original publication and to be careful of popular science sources
http://www.ucdenver.edu/about/newsroom/newsreleases/Pages/New-evidence-suggests-Neanderthals-organized-their-living-spaces.aspxThe findings are based on excavations at Riparo Bombrini , a collapsed rock shelter in northwest Italy where both Neanderthals and, later, early humans lived for thousands of years. This study focused on the Neanderthal levels while future research will examine the more recent modern human levels at the site. The goal is to compare how the two groups organized their space.It all depends on the source used to inform about a fact. The closer, the better.
