Un Día ANZAC australiano muy diferente - Estilo COVID 19
The sound of the Last Post rang out across Australia at dawn today despite the usual ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) services being cancelled. Instead, we were encouraged to remember this significant day for our country by holding a candle in our driveways. Some in dressing gowns and others with Aussie flags gathered […]
Piedras de tropiezo
[by Fred Lynch from Boston] As I turned the corner, they caught my eye. On the ground before a door in Viterbo, on a street I’ve walked for years, three brass squares shined in the light. They lay as replacements for the three original grey cobblestones. On each was engraved a name, some dates, and then “Deportato Auschwitz” and “Morto […]

Liège, Mémorial, from 1986 to 2009
The “Mémorial de Cointe” has been built to celebrate the victory of the Allies in 1918. I often drew this building. I send some sketches : The oldest is from 1986, and I drew the newest today… Each year, at November 11th, we have the possibility to climb up the tower, and to have a […]
