Wie es auch hätte sein können - Alternative Geschichte Wie hätte sich Deutschland entwickelt, wäre die Revolution 1848 anders verlaufen? Was wäre passiert, wenn die Machtergreifung Hitlers und der Nationalsozialisten verhindert worden wäre?

Für Frank Fabian ein Anlass, sich einmal vorzustellen, wie es ebenso gut anders hätte verlaufen können. Anhand von unterhaltsamen alternativen Szenarien zu Ereignissen der deutschen Vergangenheit zeigt er, dass Geschichte immer das Produkt bestimmter Entscheidungen ist, und erläutert, warum es sich lohnt, alternative Handlungsstränge der Geschehnisse zu entwerfen - um künftig bessere Entscheidungen für die Zukunft zu treffen und so den Lauf der Geschichte positiv zu beeinflussen.

Elie Wiesel lost most of his family to the Nazi death camps of World War II. As a Holocaust survivor, he dedicated his life to ending injustice, suffering, and indifference. In this 1999 speech given at the White House, Wiesel makes the case for gratitude, passion, and "making a difference" in the world.
