10x10™ ('ten by ten') is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. the result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. every hour, 10x10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. over the course of days, months, and years, 10x10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life.
danke, chronistin!kautokeino gets war compensation. an austrian soldier that took part in the burning of finnmark during ww2 has eased his long-guilty conscience by leaving a percentage of his estate to the township of kautokeino, where he personally set fire to a row of buildings in the winter of 1944, reports the norwegian aftenposten.
has anybody heard of this man, named ludwig hauser? only recently [another message ....] reached me from norway, making me aware of this former austrian citizen, who´se action is currently widely discussed in the small norwegian town of kautokeino. as we are used to discuss the austrian "contributions" to ww2 in a very controversial way, the last will of mr. hauser might spread some light on our (maybe) wounded soul.
thanks again, t., for this information from the north!
for all of those readers capable of norwegian or swedish language, find more information here: [1], [2] and [3]. sauseschritt tried, but couldn´t find anything in the austrian media!
