Fighting (for?) Europe: How European Elites Lost a Generation
June 23, 2011 04:31 PM Print Feedback Comment When Kostas Dekoumes, a 24-year-old Greek, is asked about Europe, he launches into a rant about German Chancellor Angela Merkel. When Oleguer Sagarra, a 25-year-old Spaniard, is asked the same question, he says that Europe represents the only chance to find work. Karl Gill, a 21-year-old Irishman, responds to the question by railing against the banks.
Karl Lagerfeld im SPIEGEL: "Ich mach das alles nur für mich"
Mit nur 52 Minuten Verspätung, und das ist für ihn nicht viel, betritt Karl Lagerfeld die Räume in der Rue de Lille N° 7 in Saint-Germain, Paris. Das Haus aus dem 19. Jahrhundert hat er nach seinen Vorstellungen umbauen lassen, vorn ein Buchladen, klein und exquisit, von dort geht es durch eine Schiebetür in zwei große Besprechungsräume. Hohe Decken, klares Licht, jeweils ein großer, quadratischer Tisch. Vasen mit weißen Gladiolen. Stapel von Kunstbüchern, Fotobüchern, Gedichtbänden.
Poland and the EU in the Age of National Conservatism
In downtown Warsaw, on that part of Marszalkowska Street that hasn't yet become flashy and expensive, there is a narrow and inconspicuous building. It is the home of Poland's resistance movement. Piotr, an attorney who serves as the treasurer, is sitting at the window inside a small apartment on the third floor, facing his colleague Anna. Both have been here since early in the morning, typing away on their laptops.
Refugee Trail Fame: A Trip, a Fall and a Whole New Life - SPIEGEL ONLINE - International
A short, stocky man in a brown jacket is running through a field along the Hungarian-Serbian border, not far from the town of Röszke. In his left hand, he is carrying a cloth shopping bag with the German words, "Bio macht schön" ("organic makes you beautiful"). In his other arm, he is carrying his crying, 7-year-old son, Said. Sewn into the man's underwear is $600.
Kurdish Family at War: Three Generations with the Peshmerga
Grandfather Khorshid Tofeq, 69, is a short, sturdily built man with a neatly trimmed moustache and not-entirely-natural jet-black hair. He prefers wearing the Kurdish national costume, the baggy trousers with a broad sash. Sitting in his favorite armchair in bare feet, he is sucking on candy and telling his favorite stories. His tales are about ambushes, battles and injuries, about mutilated children and about despairing women and men who soaked the earth with their blood, as Tofeq puts it.
Nine Days in the Caliphate: A Yazidi Woman's Ordeal as an Islamic State Captive - SPIEGEL ONLINE - International
During the ninth night of her captivity, Nadia seized an unexpected opportunity to flee. Back on the first day, the men who kidnapped Nadia and the other young women as hostages and sex slaves had away taken their shoes. Escaping barefoot was out of the question. As the women could see from the windows, the surrounding terrain was rough and rocky, and they would end up with bleeding cuts and gashes all over their feet.
