Tag: Auschwitz

Happy Sunday, everybody! As of today, I am off to vacation, so this is a pre-scheduled post.

Among the latter: taking the final exam of the International Law in Action: A Guide to the International Courts and Tribunals in The Hague course I participated in recently on Coursera.

Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. Anne Frank
