This is a YA historical novel centred around the everyday life of a Jewish teenager as she tries to survive the Warsaw Ghetto.

The Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, Germany’s trailblazing postwar design school, and the name of Otl Aicher are inseparably connected: together with his wife Inge Aicher-Scholl and Max Bill he founded the school and had a decisive influence on it, both as teacher and rector. Aicher was a stubborn and belligerent character, a trait that eventually sealed the fate of the school: dissatisfied with the direction of the school and the growing scientification of the curriculum Aicher aired his grievances on different occasions. Especially before and after his election as rector in 1962 Aicher in two programmatic texts laid out his criticism, two texts that are also included in René Spitz’s new book „Hans G. Conrad - Otl Aicher in Ulm“, recently published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König. As the author explains, these texts follow up on a development of polarization within the faculty and between practicalists like Aicher and scientists/theorists like mathematician Horst Rittel.  This conflict surely also relates to Aicher’s understanding of the HfG as „his“ school and the strong position he held within it and whose ouster of the scientist eventually initiated the school’s closing. This former aspect of his work comes to life in Hans G. Conrad’s photographs taken between 1953 and 1957: as „student no. 1“ Conrad documented the early years of the HfG and the central role Aicher played in it, both inside and outside the classroom: Aicher with friends and colleagues, Aicher with dignitaries like Theodor Heuss or Aicher as gesticulating teacher, all of the photos demonstrate the taking nature of Otl Aicher and convey a sense of why he was such a charming primus inter pares. At the same time Conrad also documented his own projects in the Aicher seminars, beautiful works in their own right that complete the picture of Otl Aicher’s activities.
The second volume of Hans G. Conrad’s photographs of prominent protagonists at the HfG in Ulm is a historic treasure that not only shows Otl Aicher in action but also documents the school’s formative years in impressive pictures. A beautiful book and an fascinating addition to the history of a legendary school!

Celebrate National Girl Child Day by making the lives of girls better
Tumblr media
National Girl Child day is celebrated on January 24th every year. Since 2008, this day has been celebrated with only one purpose in its mind, to raise awareness about the plight of the girl child in India. The day was introduced by the ministry of women and child development. The government has made continuous efforts to improve the state of girls in our country. National campaigns like ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’, subsidised education for girls, reservations for girls in universities, and colleges, have been introduced to reduce the disparity against women.
While India has made tremendous strides in improving the lives of girls in the country, the statistics reveal a heart-breaking and depressing reality. In contrast to the male literacy rate of 82.14, the female literacy rate stood at a measly 65.46. According to the annual bulletin of the The sexual harassment rate went from 28.9% to 33.6%, 3.7 % of girls were married below the age of 18 in 2011, and over 2,000 girls are illegally aborted every day in India. The male employment rate is 56.8, while the female employment rate is only 22.2. This shows
that despite the constant efforts of feminist movements, the girl child in India is far from empowered and independent.
Even horrific crimes against girls rose up. The sexual harassment rate went from 28.9% to 33.6%. 3.7 % of girls were married below the age of 18 in 2011, and over 2,000 girls are illegally aborted every day in India.
So what can you do to raise awareness about the miserable situation of girls in India on National Girl Child Day?
Tumblr media
At the grassroots level, you can share inspiring stories of female changemakers in diverse fields on social media. Never underestimate the power of your voice, as a single share can spark an immediate chain reaction. Spreading stories about historical figures like Rani Laxmibai, Savitribai Phule, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart etc. Modern female leaders like New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, Finland’s Sanaa Marin, Germany’s Angela Merkel, Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen, and Taiwan’s Tsai Ing-Wen, proved to be more apt to handling the pandemic than major world powers. Such tales can be shared to boost the morale of girls.
The events of the day should not be limited to girls. You can make boys aware of menstrual hygiene and health, teach them about appropriate behaviour towards the female sex, and make them aware of ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’. Boys should be taught that their female peers, are not inferior to them in any way, and should be instructed to stand up for girls around them.
In your institutes, you can screen films which have feministic narratives like Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Women, Marc Rothemund’s Sophie Scholl- The Final Days, Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade, Aniruddha Roy’s Pink, Jasmeet Reen’s Darlings. Examples of powerful female fictional characters like Wonder Woman, and The Bride, can also be shared with young children.
You can also donate money to NGOs that actively work to improve the lives of girls. NGOs like Aarti for Girls, Nanhi Kali, Big at Heart etc, are some of the many NGOs working in India.
So, on 24th January, let’s take an oath to improve the lives of female children in India.

Johann Wolfgang Goethe, (1815), Des Epimenides Erwachen (Zweiter Aufzug, Vierter Auftritt) [The Awakening of Epimenides, Act II, Scene 4], quoted in Weiße Rose, Leaflet #1 [Summer 1942]
SPIRITS: Though he who has boldly risen from the abyss Through an iron will and cunning May conquer half the world, Yet to the abyss he must return. Already a terrible fear has seized him; In vain he will resist! And all who still stand with him Must perish in his fall. HOPE: Now I find my good men Are gathered in the night, To wait in silence, not to sleep. And the glorious word of liberty They whisper and murmur, Till in unaccustomed strangeness, On the steps of our temple Once again in delight they cry: Freedom! Freedom!
From: Inge Scholl, (1952), The White Rose. Munich 1942-1943, With an Introduction by Dorothee Sölle, Translated from the German by Arthur R. Schultz, Wesleyan University Press, Middletown, CT, 1983, p. 76

Ein Offener Brief an Ver.di Berlin wegen Ver.dis feindseliger Haltung zu Demos
Die Sonderpädagogin Magda von Garrel hat einen Offenen Brief an Ver.di geschrieben. Wir machen darauf aufmerksam und veröffentlichen diesen Brief (Teil A), weil es langsam unerträglich wird, mit welcher Selbstverständlichkeit sich Einrichtungen und Organisationen, die eigentlich anderes zu tun haben, gegen Menschen positionieren, die ihr demokratisches Recht wahrnehmen zu demonstrieren.

From @valiantarcher: 1-5, 7, 9, 29, and 30, please? (cont'd)
A book you love that it seems like no one else has read.
I am going to briefly highlight three whilst I have the opportunity.
The Man From Rocca Sicca by Reginald M. Coffey, O.P., is a slim out-of-print biography of St. Thomas Aquinas. Like many a liberal arts student, I tended to think of Thomas Aquinas as a book rather than a man. This book changed all that for me, offering a picture of a man so vibrantly in love with Christ and His Cross, with a distinct and wonderful personality, for whom theological scholarship was charged with all the passion of a first love, the banner of academic orthodoxy and fidelity to Scripture as robust and red as the banner of a triumphant army's banner.
Three Religious Rebels by M. Raymond is a set of historical novellas about the fore-founders of the Trappist movement to reform the Benedictine Order. The first one, about St. Robert, is especially great. I have never forgotten the line "to do something gallant for God."
On a less spiritual note, let me note that while for some reason Rudyard Kipling's works don't tend to click for me, I have a deep-rooted love of his Stalky and Co (get the "complete" edition if you can.) These rollicking tales were inspired by his own school days, about the most outrageous kings of mischief you can get up to in a British public school. They burst with both affection and hatred for late Victorian military schools. The amount of culture-based in-jokes is and delightful and mind-boggling, much like one finds in the Wimsey books. These stories are some of the most quotable works on earth, and Mr. King, the Latin master, deserves to be remembered among literature's great characters - his assertion "it sticks" has often encouraged me as a teacher.
A book that left you feeling overwhelmed with happiness.
The Man Born to Be King by Dorothy L. Sayers. This cycle of twelve plays on the life of Christ was insightful, reverent, but most of all, such an ode to the humanity of Christ. She knew how to show him, as down-to-earth and real as fresh-baked bread that needs no butter, it's so good and hot, but without any need to downplay his divinity to do it. She realizes, unlike so many authors, that there is no need to "humanize" Jesus, for He is human. The characterization of each of the apostles is great. The joy and understanding, the wit and sacredness of these plays is amazing, and fanned my desire for scripture while loving it as a literary work in itself.
A book that you found yourself thinking about a long time after you finished it.
The White Rose by Inge Scholl was recommended to me by a trusted professor. It was my introduction to the Munich student resistance and their infamous pamphlets calling upon their fellow citizens to rise up on behalf of the true Germany, rejecting the false Germany Hitler had stained over it as a veneer. Inge was the younger sister of Sophie and Hans, university students who, along with several others, established a basement hideout from which to print and prepare their pamphlets for mass dispersal. They were caught while attempting to secretly leave piles of pamphlets in the university corridors while no one was about, and were executed after a few days' interrogation. Their heroism, in death and life, resounded with me on so many levels - spiritual, political, passionate. Inge's account is especially poignant, because while she strives for impartiality she was still a little girl at the time these events took place, and she never knew what he her siblings had become involved in until their final days. To read the six pamphlets themselves one must do some honest self-examination in their light. The story this book introduced me to stayed with me so long I ended up writing and directing a play about the White Rose in the following years, and incorporating the story and pamphlets into at least two curricula. One of my actors still texts or emails me on the day of the execution to remind me of it, even after all this time.
An author you recently discovered and would like to read more of.
I must admit I haven't done much in the way of discovering new authors lately. Other than Katherine Addison (whose other books don't look like something I plan on reading,) I've mainly been exploring or rereading authors with whom I am already familiar lately. Shakespeare, the Pentateuch, Homer, Austen, Tolkien, Sanderson, Beagle. I suppose I did just begin The Thief - the world and its dog have recommended the series to me for years, but I'm not far enough in to call myself properly invested. Oh, Andrew Peterson, possibly?
A fictional book that taught you about/increased your interest in a real-life subject.
George Bernard Shaw's gem of a one-act play, "The Man of Destiny," kickstarted my fascination with Napoleon Bonaparte. The play concerns him before his rise to power, as a young general who ran before cannons to secure the victory. It's about an encounter he has at an inn with a lady known only as "the strange woman" who has stolen his military dispatches, and the cat-and-mouse game of wits they play for who shall walk away with the letters. As usual, Shaw is tremendously wordy in his commentary, even during the play itself, enough to ignite me on a true kick of learning about the real life Napoleon.
Thank you so much for the ask! The original ask post is here. My asks aren't working, but if you'd like to ask, feel free to tag me in a comment!
