This elderly couple took a photo in their small garden outside their house for every season of the year, come rain, snow or shine.
They stood in the same spot for every season and showed off their beautiful little garden, which they were obviously very proud of.
A woman hitting a neo-nazi with her handbag, Sweden, 1985. The woman was reportedly a concentration camp survivor.
She was, yes. Her name was Danuta Danielsson and she was originally from Poland. Her parents died in a concentration camp. The nazi was later found guilty of murdering a homosexual man. There have been propositions for a statue portraying Danuta in her home town of Växjö but this idea has been opposed by a lot of establishment politicians, because appearently it glorifies political violence (even though war kings like Charles XII get statues all over the fucking country). In Sweden, we’ve recently campaigned in favour of this statue by putting handbags on all statues we could find, but scummy capitalist politicians still won’t give in!
As @combatbootsoftolerance points out, Danuta Danielsson herself was not in a concentration camp (she was born after the war) but her mother and possibly her father were.
A small point, but as so little is really known about this heroic woman, I think it is important to keep the signal to noise ration intact. People looking to discredit you will jump on the most trivial things so we should never leave them an opening.
