That's what my father taught me. Have a conscience, a soul, morales, you name it. Does it take so much to speak out against the genocide, against zionism and condemn it? And it is not only Isreal that is pure evil. I traveled the world to gain experiences, I promised myself whenever open my mouth to talk from experience and not from the frozen knowledge of the arrogance of academia. I kept my promise until today. I am the daughter of a father who fought in France for the Nazis shortly before the end of WWII. He was still young so he was spared the East front. We had countless discussions about how my parents could have resisted, what they could have done to stand up against this terror regime.
Now the time has come to stand up and speak out against the Genocide in Palestine, the censorship and tyranny spreading throughout Europe, and the killing fields of Ukraine inflicted upon people by the Western powers, and Europe in specific.
What an arrogant hybris to go against Russia, our very neighbour we are sharing our cultural roots over centuries. Russia now under Putin being a prosperous open country not at all comparable with the Soviet Union we should intensify bonds and care for a friendly relationship we can only win from.
Back than I swore to myself never to keep my mouth shut, never let myself be broken by fear nor violence.
In 2000 I started building my own business to follow my vision to make some money without turning into a ruthless ego-centered person. Amazingly enough WOMAN'S WORLD found in worthwhile to publish my the story of my life. This paragraph breaks away from the rest of my text.
This is intentional because for me this happening to me feels so strange – just like it is not about me. On the other hand I cannot hide that I am a little bit proud that story has been picked out.
