literature, social media & links

Some of the materials and links are really hard to read, watch or hear. I will mark the heaviest things with a (!) later on (for example the videos from Gaza); for now be aware that it maybe extremely disturbing. Some of those are not only showing gruesome scenes but also very personal experiences. I ask you to watch those videos with care and respect. Those people share intimate moments of their lives not for fun or klicks but to make the world care.
