anniversary of the liberation of the death camps. we're right in the middle of a ward season which will come and culminate in the oscars on february the 9th on sunday night in los angeles it was the turn of the screen actors guild awards held in great esteem by the actors themselves as they are voted by their peers there was some surprises on the night but not for robert de niro who already knew he was getting a life achievement award it's almost a ritual robert de niro's never misses a public opportunity to criticise us president don't trump. i can imagine some of you are saying all right i must not go into politics. but we're we're in such a dire situation so deeply concerning to me and to so many others i have to say something there's right and there's wrong and there's common sense and there's abuse of power.

otherwise noisy cities and so is the french photographer. who has recently completed a project featuring the interior grand of various places of worship. for me it's definitely the architecture and the power of this modern architecture through the 20th century ringback. they always have a central point of view in that the churches are always empty. so my goal is riches to create a sort of. feeling so that people can you know immerse themselves in the architecture. seeks out modern churches around the world for his photo series sacred spaces. like notre dame to try in paris it's original it's

different from anything you could have seen and also it has this visual impact with the difference of materials with the you know the wood to steal the lighting is very very interesting and it isn't. you know the workers of that era so it also has a very emotional. impact i think on the whole neighborhood. this perspective presents the architecture in the best possible light. and you know you see in this one what's really beautiful is that the pillars are you know all aligned so you really want them to be you know popping out of the photo so in that way you know the architecture speaks for itself there is no destructions it's always the same the same angle and when you put them all you know next to each other they're all very different but you get a cohesive. feeling of you know all the different churches.

people portray lives in paris he discovered his passion for modern churches 4 years ago and since then he's photographed 36 of them in europe and asia. this is no tour done to lash to learn young a cube shaped church on the outskirts of paris. to pose approach is always the same he looks around chooses a point of view and takes a single shot. that's it. at home he makes only minor corrections to the image most of the work is already done. to mo is actually an interior designer and for him photography is just a hobby get his photo series have attracted attention around the globe. since 2015 probably has also been taking pictures of libraries around the world this photo series is his most famous work to date.

it's a specific space that everybody understands you know libraries are churches everybody's been there at least once in their lives. one of 4 years favorite church is notre dumb do not sell it in paris he feels that the round come. uncreate structure emanates a sense of tranquility. i guess i'm a pretty cocky guy i mean i like it when the wind and the lower the spaces because you actually get to experience the architecture in a very different way you know. it's just pretty it seems like it's been built just for you when you're there and you can witness it for you however you perceive it. and then in the photos people can imagine themselves in in the picture. people point to his photo series sacred spaces a testament to faith in the power of modern architecture.

a book that was uncommonly prophetic about what was about to happen in germany when it was 1st published in 1933 the op about. tells the story of a jewish family at the time the national socialists the nazi party came to power many others they believe john many have an enlightened cultured society and the violence against jews would stop or about this visionary book from a man of letters david leavitt's after 945 people here in germany claimed they didn't know anything who wanted another war and concentration camps weren't those for criminals well if they had just read the right books they would have seen it coming so many authors saw the disaster coming. and jewish author leone for stronger wrote the up on minds in 1933 just months

after hitler rose to power the upper months or a wealthy jewish family in the furniture business their story starts just a few months before the nazis take over but it's clear that change has come. there's already anti-semitic violence in the streets but the upper months don't want to believe they're in danger because the germany they know is so civilized here people were not inclined to conceive that a thing as imbecile as the nationalist movement had a chance once foundations were for when was equipped with comprehensive knowledge enjoyed the fine things bygone centuries had developed had a substantial bank balance it seemed to ridiculous to imagine that the tame domesticated beast the common man threatens to revert to his wolfish nature of course today we know what happened world war 2 and the murder of 6000000 jews but

it's incredible to read how much of that force ready predicted he was one of the 1st authors whose books the nazis banned whose passport they confiscated he wrote the other months in french exile before fleeing to the us he got out but if you want to understand the false sense of security that led so many german jews to stay put for too long this book will give you some insight. finally today you may remember the story of a stolen good stuff klim painting being found in italy in december for trace of a lady was one of the world's most sought after paintings but there were doubts about its authenticity however at the weekend it was confirmed at a press conference in pure chance that it is indeed the set masterpiece by clint it had been discovered in a hole in an exterior wall of the actual gallery went been stolen from nearly 23
