Torås Fort on Tjøme, Norway, where WWII history meets stunning coastal scenery.
Used by German forces during the occupation and later tied to Cold War surveillance, this place carries stories from several eras. Such an atmospheric and fascinating spot to explore.

One Life

#SirNicholasWinton helped rescue 669 children, mostly Jewish, whose families had fled persecution by Nazi Germany. On a brief visit to Czechoslovakia, he helped compile a list of children in danger + returning to Britain, he worked to fulfill legal + monetary requirements for bringing the children to Britain thus enabling the #CzechKindertransport. Winton acknowledges the vital roles of those who remained in Prague, like #TrevorChadwick, who "dealt with all the considerable problems at the Prague end + this work he continued to carry on even when it became difficult + dangerous when the Germans arrived.". The 9th + largest transport of 250 children was stopped at the last minute, canceled because Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Those children were removed from the train + returned to their families.
Winton kept his humanitarian accomplishments to himself until 1988 when his wife found his detailed scrapbook in their attic. The book was given to #ElisabethMaxwell, a Holocaust researcher who was able to locate many of #Wintonschildren. He was invited to the TV program #ThatsLife!, where host #EstherRantzen reunited him with some of those he had helped, as well as their families. Winton was knighted in 2003 + in 2025 a #film of his story was released starring #AnthonyHopkins #JohnnyFlynn + #HelenaBonhamCarter titled #OneLife - a reference to a line from the Talmud: "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire"

The book starts with Bletchley Park, where geniuses cracked the Enigma machine. Aldrich shows how these wartime heroes built today’s secretive GCHQ.

A hero remembered. Dr. William J. Fuller, WWII neurosurgeon, filmed life on the frontlines. His son & family donated those reels to @UMich Bentley Library in 2024 — preserving the story of U-M’s 298th General Hospital for future generations. 🎖️

Here is his story: bluewaterhealthyliving.com/ent

At Westkapelle, history and landscape meet in powerful ways. On our third day there, we walked from Westkapelle towards Domburg and passed several war monuments — solemn reminders of the tragedy that struck this coastline in WWII. In 1944, Allied forces bombed the dikes to flood the area, a painful but tactical move to hinder German occupation. The cost was immense: many lives were lost, homes destroyed, and communities displaced. Liberation came, but at a heavy price.

Beyond the monuments stands the small but striking Vuurtoren Noorderhoofd (North Head Lighthouse). Painted in vibrant red, it watches over the sea — a beacon of safety, but also a symbol. To me, it represents both remembrance and resilience. We cannot erase the scars of the past, nor should we. They remind us of what unchecked hate, racism, and aggression can bring.

Yet the lighthouse also points forward. Just as its light guides ships to safer waters, so too can memory guide us toward a future built on peace, justice, and vigilance. “Never again” was the promise after WWII — a call not only to remember but to act, wherever injustice rises.

History is not behind us; it’s beside us, shaping every step. Standing there, with the sea winds and the red tower against the horizon, I felt that message deeply: look ahead, but never forget.

What happens when a young scholar’s career is shaped – and cut short – by war and ideology? Heinz Gau’s brief academic journey is an example of how the intersection of science and politics can influence researchers' career path.

What happens when the monsters of war are rebranded and sold back to the world as progress? In Dora, Heaven Shall Burn aim their fire at Krupp’s infamous railway gun—and the corporate resurrection of Germany’s wartime industry. A brutal history lesson in metal.
