Just when I thought I knew a thing or two…

…This book woke me up…

Just when I thought I knew something about recent European history, I find I know nothing about the country of Latvia or its suffering under decades of Soviet occupation.

I remember having a great feeling of relief, the day the Berlin Wall came down. I remember my sense of joy and peace when I saw the televised concert of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 (“Ode to Joy”) conducte

“Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow,
Side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.
Under the humble walls of the little catholic churchyard,
In the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed;
Daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,
Thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,
Thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,
Thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,
Thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey!”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie
