Kaputt

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

« Kaputt è un libro crudele. La sua crudeltà è la più straordinaria esperienza che io abbia tratto dallo spettacolo dell'Europa in questi anni di guerra. Tuttavia, fra i protagonisti di questo libro, la guerra non è che un personaggio secondario. Si potrebbe dire che ha solo un valore di pretesto, se i pretesti inevitabili non appartenessero all'ordine della fatalità. In Kaputt la guerra conta dunque come fatalità. Non v'entra in altro modo. Direi che v'entra non da protagonista, ma da spettatrice, in quello stesso senso in cui è spettatore un paesaggio. La guerra è il paesaggio oggettivo di questo libro. »

Kaputt è un libro scritto da Curzio Malaparte tra il 1941 ed il 1943. È difficile definirlo un romanzo^[1] nel senso comune del termine: non ha uno sviluppo di trama prevedibile.

È piuttosto un insieme di episodi, in parte autobiografici, tenuti assieme dal riferimento alla cornice bellica in cui si dipana il racconto

Sefarad

Este video esclarece y muestra la verdadera identificación de los judíos en España y su contribución positiva a la sociedad española ,a su cultura , a su espíritu humanista- La expulsión de los judíos fue un decisión trágica y errónea de los reyes católicos.

---

Como ejemplo, Monterrey fue fundado por Diego de Montemayor, y Carvajal y de la Cueva, que, según la historia, como tantos otros fueron ejecutados por la Santa Inquisición por hacerse pasar por católicos. A los sefardís se les llamaba marranos por la costumbre judía de no comer cerdo, y de no encender fuego en el Sabbat. La Nueva España, hoy México, en sus inicios fue uno de los lugares preferidos de destino de los sefardís. Los sefardís fueron una tremenda fuerza económica e ideológica pero los Reyes Católicos les dieron el ultimátum de convertirse al catolicismo o ser ejecutados y sus tierras y propiedades confiscadas. Lo más fácil era hacerse pasar por católico pero al seguir observando las costumbres hebreas se delataban. En México estos cripto-judios también sufrieron el despojo de sus bienes y las torturas y muertes más horribles (empalados, ahogados, mutilados, quemados).

Jan Arntzen

El tiempo suspendido en las noches blancas.

Lanata viaja 12.225 km hasta el archipiélago de Hvaler, en el extremo del Fiordo de Oslo, para saber si en verdad existe ese hombre del que le habló su amigo Luis Rigou: un maestro, capitán de barcos, constructor, empecinado profesor que adopto a 33 niños tibetanos y que fue premiado por el Rey de Noruega con la Medalla de Oro al Mérito.

El hombre se llama Jan Arntzen.

Lanata lo encuentra en la minúscula isla de Spjærøy.

“Los chicos se reian y me llamaban Amdo, esas fueron las primeras palabras que aprendí en tibetano”, recuerda Jan, 50 años después.

Lanata sale en busca de aquellos chicos, que hoy ya tienen su propia familia, para que le confirmen la historia.
Encuentra a Pempa Thondrup, Sonam Topgyal y Tenzin Kalsang.

“Prestar la casa para 33 niños victimas de la guerra es una forma muy altruista de actuar”, le dice Tenzin.
“Le explicamos que Amdo significa fuerte y duro, pero al mismo tiempo gentil como un cordero”, le cuenta Sonam.

“China ocupó el Tibet en 1959, yo vivía en un monasterio con mi tio, pasamos tres o cuatro meses en camino hacia la india. Jan Arntzen dio más de lo que tenía, su generosidad es algo increíble”, insiste Tenzin.
Jan recuerda las crudas historias de esos chicos que escaparon del Tibet y cruzaron el Himalaya hacia el exilio, sobre todo la de un niño al que su padre debió atar a un caballo cuando ya no daba más de tanto caminar para que lo arrastrara hasta la frontera con la India.

Y le cuenta a Lanata cómo fue que junto a su esposa Wenche decidieron llevárselos a vivir con ellos en Noruega.

“Papá y mamá no intentaron inculcarles la cultura noruega, les respetaron la propia”, cuentan Helene y Julie, hijas de Jan. Julie se para y baila para Lanata el “rock tibetano” que le enseñaron, de niña, sus hermanos adoptivos.

“Papa es un hombre de acción, no de palabras: incluye a la gente, les muestra que los necesita”, dice Helene.
En Paris, Luis Rigou, amigo de Lanata y esposo de Helene, dice: “De Jan aprendi el coraje”.

堀越 二郎

Dr. Jiro Horikoshi (堀越 二郎 Horikoshi Jirō^?, 22 June 1903 – 11 January 1982) was the chief engineer of many Japanese fighterdesigns of World War II, including the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter.

Despite Mitsubishi's close ties to the Japanese military establishment and his direct participation in the nation's buildup towards the Second World War, Horikoshi was strongly opposed to what he regarded as a futile war. Excerpts from his personal diary during the final year of the war were published in 1956 and made his position clear:

When we awoke on the morning of December 8, 1941, we found ourselves — without any foreknowledge — to be embroiled in war...Since then, the majority of us who had truly understood the awesome industrial strength of the United States never really believed that Japan would win this war. We were convinced that surely our government had in mind some diplomatic measures which would bring the conflict to a halt before the situation became catastrophic for Japan. But now, bereft of any strong government move to seek a diplomatic way out, we are being driven to doom. Japan is being destroyed. I cannot do [anything] other but to blame the military hierarchy and the blind politicians in power for dragging Japan into this hellish cauldron of defeat.^[2]

On 7 December 1944, a powerful earthquake in the Tokai region forced Mitsubishi to halt aircraft production at its plant in Ohimachi, Nagoya. An air raid made by B-29s on the Mitsubishi Engine Works in Daiko-cho, Nagoya a week later caused extensive damage to the works and a severe setback in production. Horikoshi, who had been at a conference in Tokyo with Imperial Navy officers to discuss the newReppu fighter, returned to Nagoya on the 17th, in time to experience another air raid on the Mitsubishi factories the next day. As a result of the air raid, the company evacuated its machinery and engineers to the suburbs of eastern Nagoya. Horikoshi and the Engineering Department were rehoused in a school building which had been requisitioned. Exhausted and overworked, Horikoshi fell ill with pleurisy on 25 December and remained bedridden through early April. During this time, he recorded in detail the horrors of the increasing air raids on Tokyo and Nagoya, including the devastating Operation Meetinghouse Tokyo incendiary raid of 9-10 March. A massive air raid on Nagoya the following night, with B-29s hurling "tens of thousands of incendiary bombs," destroyed most of the largely wooden city. On 12 March, Horikoshi sent most of his family, including his elderly mother, children and brother-in-law, to his home village near Takasaki to be safe from the bombings, though his wife remained with him in Nagoya.

The Wind Rises (風立ちぬ Kaze Tachinu^?) is a 2013 Japanese animated historical drama film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and is animated by Studio Ghibli. It was the final film directed by Miyazaki before his retirement in September 2013.^[5] The film is a fictionalized biography of Jiro Horikoshi (1903–1982), designer of the Mitsubishi A5M and its successor, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero; both aircraft were used by the Empire of Japan during World War II. The film is adapted from Miyazaki's manga of the same name, which was in turn loosely based on the 1937 short story The Wind Has Risen by Tatsuo Hori.^[6]

The Wind Has Risen (風立ちぬ - Kaze Tachinu）is a Japanese novel by Hori Tatsuo, written between 1936-37. It is set in a tuberculosis sanitarium in Nagano, Japan. The plot follows the condition of the female character's illness. It was originally serialised in Kaizō.

The title is a quote from Paul Valéry's poem "Le Cimetière marin".^[1]

Three films have been produced based on the story. Most recently, Hayao Miyazaki's 2013 film, Kaze Tachinu, is loosely based on the novel.

 

Unter falscher Flagge

Während die Amerikaner verhältnismäßig schnell mit gefälschten Beweisen zuerst Afghanistan und später den Irak angreifen, wächst der Zweifel an der offiziellen Version des 11. Septembers. Was unmittelbar nach den Anschlägen an Spekulationen im Internet kursierte, galt bisher als wilde Verschwörungstheorie. Doch die Indizien und sogar Beweise zeichnen ein deutliches Bild. Nicht islamische Terroristen, sondern einige ranghohe Militärs und Politiker der US-Regierung selbst, scheinen für die schrecklichen Anschläge verantwortlich zu sein.

실미도

Silmido is an uninhabited island next to Muuido Island in the Yellow Sea. Silmido is located in the west coast of South Korea. It has 0.25081km2 land area and 6 km circumference. It is 20 km from Incheon Metropolitan City of southwest and is about 5 km away from Incheon International Airport. Silmido is connected two times a day to Muuido as mud flat. Most of this island consists of mountains that are around 80m high.^[1]
Silmido became historically significant when it was used as the training ground of Unit 684 army group. On 1968, January 21, North Korea’s guerrillas infiltrated the border and reached till Segumjunggogae (Sinyeong-dong, Jongno-gu), a suburb  of Seoul, to attack the Blue House to assassinate the President Park Chung-hee.^[2] Due to this incident the Central Intelligence Agency of South Korea built 209th Detachment, 2325th Group (unit 684- 1968. April) in revenge.  unit 684 members had to endure hellish training for 3 years and 4 months. However, during the training period, South Korean government decided to follow policy that ties the two countries. Unit 684 members escaped Silmido by mutiny. However, they were stoped by government troops in Youngdungpo-gu Daebang-dong. Then, Unit 684 group committed suicide in a stolen bus (they exploded grenades , 4 members survive) on August 23rd 1971.^[3]


After the novel ‘Silmido’(1999) of Baek Dong-ho was published, Silmido became known.

Silmido is a 2003 South Korean film, directed by Kang Woo-suk. It is based on the true story of Unit 684, though parts of the film are extrapolations as the actual details of events are unknown. The film was both critically well received and a financial success, and was the first film in South Korea to attract a box office audience of over 10 million viewers.

On 21 January 1968, 31 North Korean commandos of Unit 124 are shown to have infiltrated South Korea in a failed mission to assassinate President Park Chung-hee.
As a means of retaliation, the South Korean military assembled a team of 31 social outcasts including criminals on death row and life imprisonment, in a plot to kill Kim Il-sung. The team is designated 'Unit 684'. The recruits are taken to the island of Silmido for training. The mission is offered to the recruits as the only way to redeem themselves and show their loyalty to their country. If they succeed, they will win their freedom and a new life. With this goal in mind, they endure their training. The training is shown over several months, with the recruits enduring various forms of extremely vigorous training and regular physical punishment, including being branded. One recruit is killed after he falls from a ropes course.
At the end of their training, they are dispatched on their mission to North Korea, but are recalled not long after their departure. It is revealed that the project has been called off, as the government attempts a peaceful reunification with the North. The recruits return to Silmido discouraged and frustrated. Shortly afterwards two of the Unit 684 members escape from their barracks and rape a female doctor. They are quickly discovered, and believing that they will be executed, decide to commit suicide. One kills the other at his request but is apprehended before he is able to kill himself. The apprehended soldier is then returned to the camp, tied up, and made to watch his fellow Unit 684 members being beaten by the guards for the two men's betrayal. Enraged, one of the Unit 684 members being beaten is able to take his guard's bat and kills the tied up soldier for bringing disgrace to the unit.
To keep the plot to kill Kim Il-sung unknown to the outside world, the South Korean intelligence agency decide to kill all the members of Unit 684. The unit's commander protests, but is told that if his troops failed to follow this order, they too would be killed alongside Unit 684. Torn between his duty to follow orders and his personal honor, the commander intentionally leaks this information to one of the Unit 684 members. Unit 684, realizing they are going to be killed that same night, make plans to mutiny. They attack and kill the majority of their guards, and find out from one of the guards that they legally no longer exist, and never would have received recognition for their mission if it succeeded, nor even be allowed to return to society. Unit 684 decide to escape from the island and make their story known. The 20 remaining members of Unit 684 capture a bus containing civilians and head to Seoul. An official pronouncement is heard over the radio that 20 "armed communist agents" have infiltrated the country, and a state of emergency is declared. After charging through one army roadblock and winning a firefight they are eventually stopped and surrounded by soldiers in front of the Yuhan Corporation building in Dongjak District, Seoul. A firefight ensures, with the South Korean army showing no regard for the welfare of the civilians on board the bus. All of the Unit 684 members are either killed or wounded, and many South Korean soldiers are also killed. The surviving Unit 684 members release the civilians who have not been killed by the South Korean army, before committing suicide using their own hand grenades. An investigation into the incident is shown to have been carried out; however the report is not read and is seen to be filed away in storage.

The release of this film brought public attention to Unit 684, and in 2006 the South Korean government released an official report on the unit and the uprising, officially acknowledging its existence for the first time.^[4] Brigadier general Nam Dae Yeon said that the 31 Silmido recruits who made up Unit 684 were part of an air force squadron. Seven died in training and 20 were killed in the uprising. The four who survived were executed after a military trial in 1972.^[5] Nam stated that documents describing Unit 684's mission no longer exist, but the government has not denied that its mission was to kill Kim Il-sung.^[5]
What actually caused the uprising on August 23, 1971, is unclear. The film shows the government deciding that the recruits had to be killed because they knew too much. The recruits find out and revolt. Jonathan Kim, the film's producer, acknowledges that history is unclear at this point.^[5]
Six guards survived the Silmido uprising. One of the guards, Yang Dong Su, confirmed that the unit's mission had been to infiltrate North Korea and kill Kim Il-sung. Yang stated that though the film portrays the 31 recruits as death-row inmates, most were petty criminals. Yang stated that "They were the kind who would get into street fights a lot". Yang also gives his version of why the uprising occurred.

They revolted because they felt that they were never going to get the chance to go to North Korea and that they would never be allowed to leave the island. They were in despair.^[5]

—Yang Dong Su

On May 19, 2010, the Seoul Central District Court ordered that the government pay 273 million won in compensation to the families of 21 members of Unit 684. The court found that "the Silmido agents were not informed of the level of danger involved with their training, and the harshness of the training violated their basic human rights" and also acknowledged the emotional pain the government caused by not officially disclosing the agents’ deaths to family members until 2006.^[4]

Non, je ne regrette rien

"Non, je ne regrette rien" ("No, I regret nothing") is a French song written in 1956 which is best known through the recording made by French singer, Édith Piaf, on 10 November 1960. It was composed by Charles Dumont and its lyrics, describing the singer's defiant attitude toward the past, were written by Michel Vaucaire.

Uploaded on Feb 4, 2012

Piaf dedicated her recording of the song to the French Foreign Legion.At the time of the recording, France was engaged in a military conflict, the Algerian War (1954--1962), and the 1st REP (1st Foreign Parachute Regiment) — which backed a temporary putsch of 1961 by the French military against the civilian leadership of Algeria — adopted the song when their resistance was broken. The leadership of the Regiment was arrested and tried but the non-commissioned officers, corporals and Legionnaires were assigned to other Foreign Legion formations. They left the barracks singing the song, which has now become part of the French Foreign Legion heritage and is sung when they are on parade.
