    So this was aired in 2018 I can't help but note that this three minutes is casting Hitler's rise in a way that will make people think Trump. If that's the case they're misusing history for their own political ends and ironically play into the alt right's complaint book of captured institutions.

    Iran, a land with beautiful landscapes and hospitable people, full of ancient culture and authenticity, its many tourist attractions, from the green hills of the north to the beautiful gardens and golden plains of the south, encourages everyone to travel to this country. Persian language is the sweetest. This language is the most romantic and poetic language in the world. Contrary to false western propaganda, Iran is a safe, modern, ethical and cheap country. It was the best trip of my life and my family to Iran.

    I know someone who went on a trip to Asia. She went to a local thrift store and bought clothes that she thought were comfortable. At the end of her trip she left them in her hotel room with a note in the local language asking the hotel staff to donate it to a local charity. That way she could have enough room for souvenirs.

    i cannot remember how often i walked down that path from the peasants revolt memorial back towards bad frankenhausen as a child. the leader of that peasant revolt of 1525,his name is Thomas Müntzer. unfortunately hardly ever mentioned in germany,its always luther. both knew and loathed each other by the way as in müntzers mind luther didnt go far enough by siding with the aristocracy. of course it was the perfect propaganda piece for the GDR. i still remember those vivid colours and how in awe and in shock at the same time i was..some of the depictions are quite gruesome. this brought back many memories :)
