I don't have a #Stolperstein in Ireland that I can clean today, but I can remember Expressionist poet and painter John Höxter, who has one on Hardenbergstraße 28a in #Berlin, in front of the new Romanisches Café. #KeinVerblassen Born 1884 in Hannover, he went to Berlin to study arts but soon immersed himself fully in the café scene around Ku’damm. Höxter became a permanent fixture of the Romanisches Café and was friends Else Lasker-Schüler, Renee Sintenins and Erich Mühsam.

Gedenkfeiern der #Novemberprogrome mussten wegen Corona abgesagt worden, Pegida und "#Querdenken" dürfen aber munter weiter aufmarschieren - in Braunschweig gar unter dem Motto "Geschichte gemeinsam wiederholen". Wie passt das zusammen, @Duesseldorf, @stadt_dresden, @Stadt_BS?

I just spent 2 weeks on beautiful Crete, from where I watched the Berlin “anti-Coronavirus” protests & middle class Germans happily mingling with Neo-Nazis. Here’s a small story from Greece in WW2 for all who think that the #Wehrmacht “really wasn’t that bad”. #NeverAgain #Thread In May 1941, after occupying mainland Greece, the German army attacked #Crete. They staged a massive airborne invasion with the Fallschirmjäger paratroops who were opposed by British and Greek troops and Cretan civilians.

Given that it's #FolkloreThursday, I thought I might tell you a story about witches and fart runes (yes, fart runes) from the #Westfjords of #Iceland. THREAD The Westfjords are a large peninsula in northwestern Iceland, one of the truly remote regions of the country. Only 7,000 people live in an area roughly half the size of Scotland. No wonder that this remote region has for centuries been associated with dark arts and witchcraft.

"Iceland - A Literary Guide for Travellers" is out! Getting there now is not easy, so I humbly suggest it for armchair travellers. Those need excellent book purveyors, so here's a list of ace bookshops that will safely order & deliver it. An icy THREAD: #indiebookshops #Iceland Let's start with the Icelanders: IÐA Zimsen is a lovely bookshop cafe in downtown Reykjavik, and I'm planning to launch of the book there soon - we planned to have it in April, but, you know... Ring ahead to check if they are open. facebook.com/IdaZimsen #indiebookshops
