Shoah

A movie which was directed by a French director Claude Lanzmann. He interviews the Holocaust survivors as well as the Nazi Germans. Its about 9 and half hours long and took 5 years to edit the movie.

Polar Lights

Just discovered this:

Auroras
, sometimes called the northern and southern (polar) lights or aurorae (singular: aurora), are natural light displays in the sky, usually observed at night, particularly in the polar regions. They typically occur in the ionosphere. They are also referred to as polar auroras

Flashing Lights ... Lights ....

Beautiful planet is what we live in! 

Maus


I am taking a class this winter called Graphic Novel. The books that I have read so far for this class appear to be very interesting and artful. And YES they are funny (comic strips) but some of them are very serious and tend to have dark humour (graphic novel). 

I have read Maus I  by Art Speigelman and I was amazed by the striking sketches he has done for this book. It is a story about his father who has survived the Holocaust as well Art's troubled relationship with his father. It is definitely a must read. This book makes me want to read more graphic novels, which was never the case for me until I took this class.
