Helden

Heroes are scarce in this world, and ever since superheroes have retired to the screen, we have to make our own heroes.
One of my mine back at uni was Holm Sundhausen, Professor for Southeastern European History at the Freie Universität Berlin. I have probably touched all the books he worked on, I cited him extensively in my Master Thesis and hardly came accross serious contradictions in his work. As with every hero, I idealize this man of course, nevertheless, I feel outright admiration for what he did and still does.
And now guess what: He presented his latest book, "Histroy of Serbia in the 19th and 20th century" at the Südost e.V. the other day! Of course I went there, listened and actually knew what they were talking about. Six years of uni finally made sense after all!
