My fellow Duranians,
Wednesdays are Alexander´s Day with us, where we look forward to his live stream with us and just ask all sorts of things, concerning from geo- politics to cultural queries.
Sadly, as most of us know, Locals decided to do their thing again and wreck our beloved weekly, BUT
Alexander and I took advantage of the situation and turned the negative into the opposite.

Enjoy this quickly arranged substitute

My friends, as you all know, for technical reasons it proved impossible to do our weekly Live Stream yesterday. Unfortunately the systems failed us again.

Firstly, I would like to thank you all of you for your patience and kindness, even as a promised Live Stream had to be called off.

Secondly, I particularly want to thank Zarael for stepping into the breach, making it possible for us (him and me) to do an excellent programme together for the Duran Community on Locals when the Live Stream should have taken place.

Thirdly, I am going to make a further attempt to do the Live Stream on Friday. Hopefully by then the technical issues will be resolved. I look forward to speaking to you all then.

Sachsenhausen held the most serious political opponents of Hitler, prominent state figures from many European countries defeated by the Nazis, such as France, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and the Netherlands, including their heads of government and ministers.

By 1944, citizens of the Soviet Union and Poland made up more than 90% of all Sachsenhausen prisoners.
Nazi's military doctors carried out macabre, horrific medical experiments on Sachsenhausen prisoners, including tests with mustard gas — yprite. Test subjects were deliberately mutilated and then exposed to mustard gas. People were forced to inhale the gas, consume it in liquid form, or receive it via injection.

The Nazis killed some of the prisoners in the crematoria of Sachsenhausen, and forced the rest on a 'death march' towards the Baltic Sea where they planned to drown their victims. ...
