Quite an interesting morning really, oh and he was extremely polite :)
The beautiful sunrise and sunsets are coming back i'm so happy hoho.
One more paper and the exams are finally over ~
I actually have no idea what to do after the exams, except that i have a movie date on Thursday and i haven't stepped into a cinema for about 7 months now.
Interesting life much? Oh and i plan to visit all the museums and art galleries in existence with Charmaine soon.
Time to catch up and spend quality with my old friends ^-^
Haven't been doing anything productive in the last few days cause all i did was eat, sleep, watch documentaries, do some Math papers and take pictures.
I can barely see anything now cause i broke my spectacles last Wednesday or something and i've been staring into space and squinting my eyes hahahah, i must appear to be very idiotic.
This month is National Geography's Photography month :B
So inspired by these photographers and their patience, but i guess when you love a certain something a lot you woudn't mind waiting to snap a picture at the perfect moment.
I am so ~jelly~ of their lives but i'll never make it as far as them so oh well, what am i blabbering about anyway. Nat Geo has been broadcasting Holocaust and WWII documentaries too :')
"It isn't scary that monsters will do such evil, wicked things.
It is scary to think how, they, people -like you and like me-,
could act like monsters and not feel guilty at all.
And that is what is really frightening."
Wars.
Either make you lose complete faith in humanity
or gain faith in humanity.
- Chiune Sugihara (杉原 千畝 Sugihara Chiune),
was a Japanese diplomat who served as Vice-Consul for the Japanese Empire in Lithuania.
During World War II, he helped several thousand Jews leave the country by issuing transit visas to Jewish refugees so that they could travel to Japan.
Most of the Jews who escaped were refugees from German-occupied Poland or residents of Lithuania.
Sugihara wrote travel visas that facilitated the escape of more than 6,000 Jewish refugees to Japanese territory, risking his career and his family's lives.
- In France
The French town of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon sheltered several thousand Jews. The Brazilian diplomat Luis Martins de Souza Dantas illegally issued Brazilian diplomatic visas to hundreds of Jews in France during the Vichy Government, saving them from almost certain death.
- In Belgium
Members of the Belgian resistance held up the twentieth convoy train to Auschwitz, and freed 231 people. Several local governments did all they could to slow down or block the registration processes for Jews they were obliged to perform by the Nazis. Many people saved children by hiding them away in private houses and boarding schools. Marie and Emile Taquet sheltered Jewish boys in a residential school or home.
- In Portugal
Portuguese diplomat in France, Aristides de Sousa Mendes issued 30,000 visas to Jews and other persecuted minorities, though it cost him his career.
- In Hungary
The diplomats Carlos de Sampayo Garrido and Alberto Teixeira Branquinho also helped many Jews escape Nazis and their Hungarian allies.
- In Spain
The two most prominent ones were Ángel Sanz Briz (the Angel of Budapest), who saved around five thousand Hungarian Jews by providing them Spanish passports, and Eduardo Propper de Callejón, who helped thousands of Jews to escape from France to Spain.
- In Albania
Albania is reputed to have hidden and saved not only all Albanian Jews, but also several thousands of Jewish refugees from other countries, including Serbia, Greece, and Austria
- In Finland
The Secret Police Valpo secretly slated more than 50 Jews, mostly refugees from Germany and Austria for deportation.
- In China
Between 1933 and 1941, the Chinese city of Shanghai accepted unconditionally over 30,000 Jewish refugees escaping the Holocaust in Europe, a number greater than those taken in by Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the British India combined during World War II. Japanese government ensured Jewish safety in China, Japan and Manchuria.[25] Japanese Army received Jewish refugees, General Hideki Tōjō received Jewish refugees in accordance with Japanese national policy and rejected German protest
and if i remembered correctly, Miep Gies for helping Anne Frank.
