Auschwitz
.... was daily life like for the prisoners?
Each morning, before dawn, prisoners were rounded into what was called “roll call”. Forming into groups and ordered by the SS guard, the prisoners were accounted for and checked off an attendance list.

After roll call was finally over, most prisoners were sent to work, an excursion that often took miles of marching to reach. Fo .....

Neoplatonism
.... possible, the Neoplatonist maintains, by virtue of the very freedom of will that enabled it to choose its sinful course. The soul must reverse that course, tracing in the opposite direction the successive steps of its degeneration, until it is again united with the
fountainhead of its being. The actual reunion is accomplished through a mystical experience in which the soul knows an all-pervading ecstasy.
Doctrinally, Neoplatonism is characterized by a categorical opposition between the spiritual an .....

Hawking
.... chair as Lucasian professor of mathematics which was once held by Newton.
Hawking still clearly insists that what we think of as real time has a beginning at the Big Bang, some ten to twenty billion years ago. And no one who knows much of anything about the universe is debating that issue. The evidence for the Big Bang event is conclusive, possibly irrefutable. Time as we understand it has a beginning.
I believe that the universe had a beginning at the big bang and that’s how the universe is .....

Achilles
.... Patroklos' death by killing Hector. It is customary and proper to return a dead body to its home so it can be given a proper burial, and it is against the code of honor to perform acts of excessive cruelty. Achilles is so distraught by his friends' death that he contradicts both of these conditions. First, he refuses to return Hector's body to the Trojans, and then proceeds to drag it behind his carriage by the ankles. Achilles' deliberate mutilation of Hector's body shows the reader that he does not ho .....

after the war, when artists and writers were thought disgraced by the slightest affiliation
