Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, historians have become both more accurate and more honest—fractionally more brave, one might say—about that 'other' cleansing of the regions and peoples that were ground to atoms between the upper and nether millstones of Hitlerism and Stalinism.

If you didn’t understand the message, God will keep sending the same person or situation into your life.

Life has no victims. There are no victims in this life.No one has the right to point fingers at his/her past and blame it for what he/she is today.
