People who go after such risky stuff are not normal.... they enjoy living on the edge ... a challenge and fun for them... fear for normal people. Same way some people can walk comfortably at the edge of a roof while most can't. I'll watch... but never do. Roller Coasters always look like simple fun on TV.... but the day I actually rode one.... verrrrrry low old time one..... I prayed for it to reach the end... all fear no fun!
Thats their way, they're normal.

Foreign AffairsA Soldier's Face Before And After 4 Years Of War, 1941 - 1945(Pics) by Explorers(op): 5:02pm On Feb 04, 2021
These two pictures are shown side by side in the Andrei Pozdeev museum.

The museum caption reads: “(Left) The artist Eugen Stepanovich Kobytev the day he went to the front in 1941. (Right) In 1945 when he returned”.

The human face after four years of war. The first picture looks at you, the second one looks through you.

In 1941, Evgeny Stepanovich Kobytev was a young man ready to start his creative life as an artist when Germany attacked the Soviet Union and he had to join the Army.

Four years later, the difference in his face is striking.

A thin and tired face, deep wrinkles, a troubled stare, this man was completely changed after witnessing 4 years of a horrible no-rule war in the Eastern Front.

TravelRe: Jewish Refugee Wills €2Million To French Village For Protection Against Nazi by Explorers(op): 6:17pm On Jan 31, 2021
Schwam's father was a doctor, while his mother Malcie created a library in the Rivesaltes camp in 1942, one of the many set up to imprison Jews.

Friedal Reiter, a young Swiss social worker, wrote a diary that contained information about the family's history.

It is thought that Reiter helped the family move to Chambon-sur-Lignon after the Rivesaltes camp closed in November 1942.

Schwam was placed in a children's home run by Secours Suisse, a sub-sector of the Red Cross of Switzerland which helped children during the Second World War.

His mother also worked there.

The entire family survived the war and his parents returned to Austria.

Schwam later studied pharmacy at the University of Leon in 1950 and graduated in 1957.

Chambon-sur-Lignon, located on a remote mountain plateau in southeast France, large Protestant community known for offering shelter to those in need.

Schwam and his family arrived in 1943 and were hidden in a school for the duration of the war.

He later studied pharmacy and married a Catholic woman from the region near Lyon, where they lived.

'In his will, Schwam indicates that he made this choice in gratitude for the welcome the inhabitants of Chambon gave him during the war,'

Schwam also wrote that the money be used for Educational and youth initiatives, in particular, scholarships.



Over the centuries the village of Chambon-sur-Lignon has taken in a wide range of people fleeing religious or political persecution.

Around 2,500 Jews were taken in and protected during World War II by the village, whose residents were honoured as 'Righteous Among the Nations' by Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial centre.

A commemorative plaque of the rescue of Jews during their WWII persecution is affixed on the village school of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon.

TravelJewish Refugee Wills €2Million To French Village For Protection Against Nazi by Explorers(op): 6:16pm On Jan 31, 2021
A Jewish refugee who fled the Nazis with his family from Austria during World War II has bequeathed fortune of over €2million to the French village whose residents hid them from persecution for many Decades.

Eric Schwam arrived Chambon-sur-Lignon with his parents and maternal grandmother in February 1943.

Schwam died aged 90 on December 25, made his decision to make the village the sole beneficiary of his will in 'Gratitude' for the welcome he received from the residents 78 years ago.

'It's a large amount for the village,' Mayor Jean-Michel Eyraud said.
