Before he was killed he pleaded. He was too young he said. He had his whole life ahead of him.

In that moment he was then asked. Die today, or die two decades from now. Why does it matter? Do you think you would make anything out of your life in...

As the plane descended into Berlin , my girlfriend and I looked for landmarks through the window that we recognized. She's had sharp eyes and will always spot things first and point them out to me. "Look it's Tempelhof !".
