The small village of #Rozwarowo in the far north-west of #Poland, nestled in a #moorland landscape, is the setting for a special project. #Reed farmer Alfred Smolczynski has been revitalising the #moor since the late 1980s, despite much resistance. He is now making his land available to a unique initiative to promote #biodiversity and rare #birds in particular.

Despite the #German #police’s assaults on the #protesters, crowds are now gathering in the German capital, #Berlin, to express their unwavering support for #Palestine.

I have a question for the #German #Hungarian #Jewish and #genealogy community about a name change.

While digging in my cousin's roots, I found a name change that is mysterious to all of us. I hope it makes sense to someone who can explain it.

The tailor Aron Lefkowitz, a US immigrant from #Hungary, married Rosa Holtz, whose parents were from #Germany. They named their son Kalman.

Around 1915, he changed his name from Kalman Lefkowitz to Charles Lee Kramer. Is there a correlation in those names?

In personal news, I've been trying to learn German and I had my first dream in which I spoke the language. I was ordering something in a bakery and everyone went quiet to listen, even other customers, then they all twisted up their faces with disdain because I'd made so many errors. #deutsch #german #language

Trotz Tennisarm habe ich mir dann doch mal die Zeit genommen, auf deutsch ein bisschen was über mein kommendes Album zu schreiben, und wie es dazu kam, dass ich jetzt genau dies mache und nichts anderes.

Vielleicht ist es ja für ein paar von euch ganz interessant :) Und natürlich interessiert mich *eure* Meinung sehr.

#German #Genocide wouldn't have been so deadly without full support of #IBM and their #405tab #computers. Subsidiary #DeHoMaG created loads of wealth for them, and made #concentrationcamp management possible in the first place. Somehow, it's not that different in their third genocide... https://youtu.be/jdxTiuQAqZQ

This time @israel's #zioNAZIs are killing civilians in @palestine while #genocideOlaf isn't better than #Musk supported #AFD. Even when the IBM logo changed drastically after #WW2, they are still first in line when it comes to profiting of #ethniccleansing.

"Pendelzwang" - From the #German for enforced commuting.

"I thought you worked from Home?"
"I did, but then management brought in the Pendelzwang, and now I have to sit in traffic for three hours a day, burning dead dinosaurs, so I can join a Zoom meeting 'more effectively'."
