“The future is certain. It’s the past which is unpredictable”. Historian of the Balkans. Literary translator. Editor. Political commentator. I love poetry, fine art, jazz, sane politics, history of memory, and all things Balkans.
To my mind, the following is the best love letter/poem written in modern times. By J. D. Salinger.

"She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there, leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together”.

The technique of compelling the victims of forced deportation to pay their own “administrative costs” was pioneered and refined by Adolf Eichmann in Austria from 1938, through the “Central Office for Jewish Resettlement.” The “Vienna model” has been reproduced in many other times and places.
