Today, because many do not know their history we can see we are coming in very dangerous situation where the 1930ies are in away coming close to a repeat and the past shall put a stamp again on those who do not agree with the populists of today.

- writes about his view of Germans & Germany + his own country Italy + its long period under Fascist dictatorship which led to Italian Jews like singled out + after 1945 Italy continued & continues to this day to have in its political life the heirs of Mussolini’s ideals.
- camps near Krakow cut off to the village of Oswiecim.
- commemoration for Sinti people + mass extermination of 2 August 1944 > Sinti + Roma came primarily fr. Germany, Austria, the Protectorate of Bavaria & Moravia, + Poland, with smaller groups arriving from France, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia/Croatia, Belgium, the USSR, Lithuania, and Hungary. + Norway & Spain.
- about 23 thousand men, women, + children imprisoned in the camp. ~ 21 thousand registered in the camp (370+ children born there).
- about 1,700 Polish Sinti + Roma murdered immediately after arriving at the camp, without being entered in the records.
- approximately 23 thousand Sinti + Roma deported to Auschwitz > ~ 21 thousand died or murdered in gas chambers.

This past week was the 75th Anniversary of the arrival of Soviet troops in Poland in their offensive to defeat Nazi Germany and so called liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau Camps. Currently I am reading a biography on Primo Levi, the celebrated Italian author from Turin who was interned at Auschwitz from February 1944. In the biography by Ian Thomson written in 2019 on the centennial of Primo Levi birth, we have a very good picture in Levi’s words of what that camp life was like, of the people he knew, of those who died and those who survived. We also read about the Germans at the camp who ran the factories for I.G. Farben and BASF. In order to survive Levi says; you had to find a way to do as little as possible to preserve your energy.
Levi had a long career in Turin as a chemist and he became…

In this present world lots of short notices or messages are posted on social media, but to find serious writing on the net has become limited.
There is a serious need for analysing what happens in the world. We could do with some more bloggers recording for history what is going on and how we feel about it. Analyses of people giving an idea how a culture experiences the events.
It is for any person impossible to know what future shall bring, but by the knowledge of what happened in the past people can have an idea how things can evolve.
For sure all people should try to work for a better future and if they do not fix the disinformation problem, the divide will only widen.
You have very good reasons to point to Nazi Germany, because many factors are pointing that direction, and people could be surprised it can be as bad as then sooner than people think.

We need to be recording for history what is going on and how we feel about it.
They say that history is written by the winners. I don’t agree. I believe history is written by those who have the most to gain by revising history.
There is a difference between ‘recording’ history and ‘rewriting’ history. We are seeing this happening in 2017. There are those in public life who don’t seem to understand that technology makes it easy to find the videos from the past that document a statement. You can try to deny that you said something but someone will find that video and publish it to prove you are lying.
The current problem is not just the lying about the past, even the recent past. What is most…

Shaykh Abu Qatada said:
“The more ignorant a person is the more his disagreement increases, the solution is knowledge = thus study and study and study, the more you study the more you are freed from following someone else, and when you are freed from following someone else that means you become independent, and independence means lack of partisanship”.
First special interview – Page 21.
Partisanship and being a follower to someone else and shutting down reason and abundant disagreement…they are many things but their origin and reason is only one thing which is: ignorance!
And with knowledge you finish off all of these symptoms together!
Not everybody is given to be a leader and not everybody can take up the leadership. The one taking up leadership always should respect those under him, willing to give them something more and offering them positive prospects, putting them on fire, willing to explore, discover, strive, soar and excel.
Joe DeRosa loves marketing and has spent a significant amount of his time and energy studying buyer behaviours. As an executive leader of several Marketing and Sales teams he has gathered vast amounts of data – qualitative and quantitative – around the customer journey.He, like us, is convinced that leadership is not selfish and that great leaders make it all about their teams which they lead with dignity. As we showed already in our previous postings, life is a learning process. In this competitive world the best leaders should be continuous learners, not claiming to have all the answers nor believing they themselves are the only ones capable of generating great ideas. With many youngsters, this might a be problem today and the cause of so many projects failing in the end.
An other big problem today is the lack of communication or the will to listen to others, and nobody wanting to take responsibilities.
With many of those born in the 1980s and 1990s we find a very placating and narcissistic tendency, many having a very strong ego. Many of them are also not willing to trust others and do not want to share all that they know, but want to be recognised as the one who knows most and best, which is not always so true.
Purpose-driven leaders understand the importance of gratitude. Being gracious for a job well done separates a good leader from a bad leader. There’s nothing wrong with expressing your gratitude or thanks to an employee who did a good job even though a good job is what’s expected. It’s often the smallest acts of kindness that embolden a team to its leader. {10 Things a Leader is Not}
Many youngsters think they know already everything and are often not open to learn more. They forget that everything changes so fast and everyday offers again something knew. For good leaders there is no place for ignorance and no place for such proud that no questions are dared to be posed about matters not known.
In good leadership is also no place for indecisiveness or a regular hesitating attitude.
Enduring leaders know that making decisions are required for leadership longevity. Those that shy away from making decisions, difficult or easy, don’t last long as leaders. Indecisive leaders are some of the most difficult leaders to work for. {10 Things a Leader is Not}
Let us therefore remember
- Leadership = collection of experiences, ideas, values, beliefs, and opinions
- = demonstrating humility while acknowledging = still more to learn
- not about being right but rather getting it right.
relationship formed through existence of mutual trust

Leadership is a collection of experiences, ideas, values, beliefs, and opinions. Good leaders ask great questions. Great leaders apply what they’ve learned from those questions to their actions. It’s not about having,or projecting an attitude, but rather demonstrating humility while acknowledging there is still more to learn. It’s not about being right but rather getting it right.
Leadership is a privilege. It’s not a right, nor a duty as some may think. It’s a gift given to those who have earned it by demonstrating their desire to serve others. Those who have been given a leadership role without earning it are exposed rather quickly. People are eager to follow those they believe in, trust, and care about. That relationship can only be formed through the existence of a mutual trust. It’s the leaders job to build that trust. It is granted to the leader who demonstrates his or her genuine interest and caring for…

Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Atheism in spe do not discriminate.
Human beings so much love the world to turn around themselves. The other human species which look different than them or act differently than them are often considered as a possible threat to their own individuality. They want to protect their own personality and consider another race as an infringement of their own being. All those who are not like the mainstream, showing other sexual feelings than the majority, are for lots of people elements which have to be avoided in their society.
They forget that all human beings are created in the image of God and that we should allow all creatures in existence to be here on earth because God allows them to be here.
Being different makes so many afraid. Not enough people are willing to know more, the why and how about certain matters, which makes that so many are excluded from our general society.
Much too often we hear that religion is the cause of the many problems and discrimination on this earth, but we should see that even when nobody would believe in a higher being, sexism, and all other forms of discrimination would still be social constructs born of fear and ignorance. Fundamental groups, when they would not be religious will still exist as has proven history where we can find enough examples of exclusions, torture and killing by others, not for religious but for political and for economical reason and most of all for getting the power, and that is it where it turns mostly around: Power.
It our those people who can reason who should be willing to use their brains and knowledge to open the eyes of others so that they would not in to the appeal of extremism.

Gelooft u het getuigenis van God, zijn Zoon en zijn dienaren? God openbaart Zich als de Heilige, die de zonden niet kan verdragen en deze veroordeelt. De meeste mensen vrezen God echter niet.

In de Heilige Schrift hebben wij meerdere voorbeelden vna mensen met geloof, Abraham daarbij de voornaamste.

Indien men zich wil aansluiten bij een Christadelphian ecclesia, kan men makkelijk door iedereen in de gemeenschap individueel begroet worden. Als de ecclesia echter samengesteld is door zeer veel mensen is zulk een persoonlijke begroeting door elk lid niet altijd zo vanzelfsprekend en werkt de dienstdoende presiderende broeder als vertegenwoordiger van elk ander lid in de gemeenschap om de rechterhand aan te bieden en het nieuwe lid welkom te heten.
