Munich today – News from May 8th, 2022 – Munich

When the Second World War ended 77 years ago, cities like Munich lay in ruins, the number of dead and wounded was unmanageable, the suffering and misery for millions of people immeasurable. Older women and men who lived through this period themselves are reminded of bad memories by the images of destroyed homes, of people killed and wounded, as they are shown in the media every day in Ukraine. How can the people there, how could our parents and grandparents stand it?

Looking back on a long life, what seems to be just an episode that can be overcome is apparently no longer frightening. At least that’s what a woman and a man, both in their 90s, who live in retirement homes say. They describe very clearly how terrible war is. And yet they are not afraid of it, no longer worry about their own lives (SZ Plus).

Anyone who speaks to them learns a lot about what people do to others, but also what people survive. And at the end of the day, he can’t help but get the impression that old age and war have something in common: they rob you of your future. But the biggest difference is that war can be stopped.
