Thrusday, Kislev 12, 5778. November 30, 2017. Shalom! World. The details of  Charlotte Salomon's extraordinary life tend to overshadow her work. Often likened to Anne Frank, the Jewish artist was shaped by the Nazis' rise to power and by a suppressed Family history  of suicide, before her life was cut short at Auschwitz in 1943. She has inspired plays, an opera, a movie and an award-winning French novel, and is the subject of a forthcoming animated film.  Salomon was born in Berlin 1917, came from na upper-middle-class Jewshi Family and watched as the world she had known as  a child disintegrated when Hitler came to  power. She was a  reserved child, but she clearly had a turbulent and  passionate inner life with na astute visual memory, "imprinting  everything for future  use," according to her  biographer Mary L. Felstiner. Images she later  painted of this period reveal a wry, bitter humor. Hitler...

The amazing night view of the Thun Castle!!!!!!!! Sunday, Kislev 8, 5778. November 26, 2017. Shalom! World. The present day castle with its adjoining buildings was originally a fortress. There was a stately home with a residential building and a curtain wall already in the 12th century. This is confirmed by archeeological research, which took place during the bug reconstruction in 2013. It can be presumed that the Duke of Zähringen did not take over the compound quite peacefully. Berchtold V had the up to the presente day well-preserved monumental donjon integrated in the compound. The Zähriger never intended to live here as  they had  a residence built in Burgdorf. Yet, it is with this imposing tower that they could leave a sign of their power over the region and the local trading paths. The donjon is unsuitable as a permanente residence as it is actually a single 14-metre high room, which is now called the Grand Hall. In its time na imposing pla...

Thrusday, Cheshvan 27, 5778. November 16, 2017. Shalom! World. According to the oficial version,  the history of the Schloss Oberhofen is calculated from 1130. Of  course, not all the historians agree on this date, and i alsso think it fair to say that the "Castle on the Lakke" appeared later. In the ancient chronicles, 1130 is set the year of foundation of the monastery, around which the village of Oberhofen am Thunersee began to grow, The monastery was built half a kilometer above the present location of the fabulous Oberhofen Castle, but not even its ruins were preserved.  The oldest preserved building of the Oberhofen Castle was built only a hundred years later, at the beginning of the 13th century on the order of  the ruler of the land, the Duke Walter von Eschenbach. The tower-dungeon, 11 to 12 meters in diameter with two-meter walls, was able to withstand the attack of any weapons of that era. I emphasize: any, because several centuries...

Sunday, Cheshvan 23, 5778. November 12, 2017. Shalom! World. Wanderlust. Domodossola has always been a focal point for the seven surrounding valleys (Anzasca, Antrona, Bognanco, Antigori, Divedro, Formazza, Vigezzo). It has the character of afrontier town, and is an important railway junction between Italy and Switzerland. An ancient Roman province, it acquired its name (from the Latin "Domus Oxulae", where "Domus" means an administrative capital with the main church of  the area) following the establishment of Christianity in the Ossola region. The medieval town centre has preserved intact its very fine Piazza Mercato, an irregularly-shaped square surrounded by elegante bourgeois buildings graced with loggias and balconies. One of the most culturally active theatres in the province, the Teatro Galleti, opens onto the square. Of great historical interest is Via Briona, where the 14th century Briona Tower stands. Another...

Sunday, Cheshvan 16, 5778. November 5, 2017 Shalom! World. According to Elogius Kiburger, the author of the Strättliger Chronicle, in 933 the King of Burgundy, Rudolph II, built the Castle. Shortly thereafter, the Freiherr von Strätligen settled in the castle. Portions of the current castle shield walls and main tower were built during the 12th century and by the 13th century the town of Spiez existed outside the castle walls. By 1280 the castle was listed as an Imperial fief under Vogt Richard von Corbières. In 1289 the Freiherr von Strättligen was co-owner of the castle along with a succession of nother noble families. In 1308 King Albert I of Habsburg was murdered at Windisch on the Reuss, by his nephew Duke John Parricida. As part of their retaliation for the murder, the Habsburgs withdrew half of the  Spiez fief from Thüring von Brandis and granted the whole fief to Johannes von Strättligen. Thirty years later, im 1338, Johannes sold the castle, town, churc...
