Whenever they tell you it can't be done in the modern age, show them Dresden.

What's been achieved in Dresden is the most inspiring architectural feat for decades. Everything you see in the bottom image was built, from scratch, in the last 20 years.

The city was a gem of German Baroque architecture, completely levelled by Allied bombings during WW2 - more than 80% of the buildings in the historic city center were either damaged or totally destroyed.

Heartbreakingly, the wonderful Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) lay in rubble for decades, under the East German communist regime which refused to rebuild it. It was left in a pile as a "memorial against war" for 50 years. When the Berlin Wall finally fell, the people endeavored to bring it back.

Work began in 1993 to piece the church back together, brick by brick; every stone in the pile was sorted and carried off to be analyzed. Except for the brand new dome, it was reconstructed using as much original stone as possible, to the exact specifications of the original (as much as could be pieced together from old photographs).

The work took 11 years, and in 2005, the Frauenkirche was reconsecrated - rising like a phoenix from the ashes. It was finished one year ahead of schedule and just in time for the city's 800-year anniversary celebrations.

In a remarkable gesture, the gilded orb and cross atop the new dome were crafted by an English goldsmith - whose father partook in the bombing of the city in 1945.

@G_S_Bhogal It gets even better.

One of the children Nicholas saved was Leslie Brent. He went into medicine, and went on to become one of the world's top immunologists who pioneered organ transplants.

Millions of people are alive today because of him.

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.

I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

Aunque llevo años estudiando el Holocausto, el documento que más me heló la sangre fue la carta de una mujer alemana que pedía que los prisioneros del campo de concentración no pasasen por delante de su casa al ir a la fábrica porque le molestaba tener que ver eso.

Les voy a contar la historia de Miguel, el autor detrás de este cuento 👇 que participó en la más reciente edición de 'Medellín en 100 palabras' y que se volvió viral por cuenta de la cruda y horrorosa realidad que refleja: el abuso a niño, niñas y adolescentes en la ciudad.

Qué miedo la gente de bien.

[María Clemencia @ClemenciaDavila]

el racismo que he visto en mi instagram no es normal. "La educación" y el "nivel socioeconómico" que tanto los enorgullece los dejo sin humanidad.

Oiga, @IvanDuque, y cuánta recompensa darán por los que están detrás de esto?

Nunca va a existir equivalencia entre romper un vidrio y meter un balazo. Nunca.

No todas las violencias son iguales.
