Niet het beste weer in Lübeck, maar toch leuk om in de stad van Thomas Mann te lopen en het Buddenbrookhaus te zien.

Thomas Mann is 150 jaar geleden geboren. Zijn furieus, literair briljant verzet tegen de Nazi's trekt aandacht, mede dankzij de eerste Nederlandse vertaling van zijn hoogst actuele bundel 'Achtung Europa!' uit 1938. #BetrouwbareBronnen mét de eerste druk daarvan! vriendvandeshow.nl/bb/episodes/...

Watched "Letter from an Unknown Woman" (1948), currently showing on iPlayer. Although filmed entirely in Hollywood, the evocation of old Vienna is beautifully done. I particularly liked the moment where young Lisa, played by Joan Fontaine, inspects the photographs of Brahms and Mahler on the wall.

Ukraine is vulnerable now and needs the support of all free people.
They have sacrificed troops and civilians defending not only themselves, but Europe, including the United States.
The Trump regime clearly does not see the connection between U.S. security and Ukraine's success in Europe.
