The level of dehumanisation by a vast number of people, neighbours, just citizens, made it more terrible. 76000 jews were deported from France, 25% of the jews population at the time of WWII memorialdelashoah.org/archives-et-do…

Since I arrived in France, and living around Paris, every time I walk by a school there is a plaque to remember all the kids that were deported, just because they were jews flic.kr/s/aHsmJRXmoh

Winston Churchill called [WWI] 'the hardest, cruellest, and least-rewarded of all the wars that have been fought.' #armisticeday 🧵

Y nos fuimos de picnic! a dónde? flic.kr/p/2ngFWfw

Primero preparamos las 4x4 para un fin de semana largo en el extremo este de la isla. Es necesario llevar comida, agua, teléfonos satelitales, baterías de recambio, mucha crema solar, y anti mosquitos,

y equipo de camping y también de free diving. GPS, caja de primeros auxilios revisada y completada, ruedas de auxilio? Eslingas para arrastrar otra camioneta? Madera? (esa la compramos por el camino: en algún lugar cerca de Fuiloro)
