Hello. This list -- memories@maelstrom.stjohns.edu -- has been relatively silent during the last year; and yet I (and many others) believe it still has an important part to play. Young people still want to learn more about the events of the last 50 years of the 20th century from those who witnessed it. I've now asked a colleague, Sally Negus - sally@timewitnesses.org - to help me to make several important changes:-- o The MEMORIES project has been renamed TIMEWITNESSES and now has its own website at http://timewitnesses.org o Many of the stories on that site have been translated into German with the help of Heinz Mohn and his students at the Anna Essinger School in Ulm. (Most stories are now tri-lingual) o More stories are being added about the post-war years when Europe was still struggling to recover from World War 2. (as an example see http://timewitnesses.org/english/food/ -- also now in German with help from the Seniors of Leipzig University) We are also planning to move this list to a new home with more facilities at timewitnesses@yahoogroups.com -- but I will wait for Sally to explain further about that. ================ Tom Holloway tom.holloway@u3a.org.uk tom@holloways.org <=== private email http://timewitnesses.org 01926-771772
