History Revisited (0 more)

A must-watch Documentary - Drama

An excellent insight into what happened at Chernobyl Nuclear Powerplant which has opened up my interest in the subject and made me read more into the characters /history etc.

The suffering that followed in the wake of the disaster is mind blowing though the 'official' recorded death toll is only around 35 people.

A must watch for young and old though some seems are upsetting / distressing.

Although the team of scientists who supported after the incident were mainly depicted by one character in the series, the bravery of those people is inspiring and should not be forgotten.

The Perfect Travelling Companion

This book is laugh out loud funny filled with interesting historical stories as well as up to date information with personal quirky stories thrown into the mix. A well-written travel guide mixing personal adventures with information about places, things to do and see (or not) and gives a true impression of the expanse of this enormous country!

As a traveller with a 3 week trip booked later this year, this truly was a fantastic read to offer insight into a unknown world (for me!). Who knew their political system was so complex? Or their history so diverse? Let the adventures commence !

A must read for any one interested in the Humanitarian side of WW2. A forgotten character in the history of Auschwitz and one I was grateful to have read.
