More peace!

Die Waffen nieder!

Have you read up on Berta von Suttner yet?

She won the 1905 Nobel Peace Price "for her audacity to oppose the horrors of war."

And yes, this is (a) a new favorite statue, and (b) my new favorite view of the Peace Palace.

I've purchased a dutch (new) translation of Berta von Suttner's book "Die Waffen nieder".

(The English version is currently sold out)

A new day, a new photo of the statue of Berta von Suttner in front of the Peace Palace in The Hague.

Finally visible recognition at the Peace Palace for a very important woman:

Berta von Suttner

Start with Wikipedia to read more about her and her work in peace activisim and gender equality, then move onto her own writing ;-)

All is quiet at the Peace Palace, location of dreams and fairy tales in a warmongering world. 🕊️🇺🇳

A true fairy tale castle in the snow, because who still believes in international justice?

Peace on Earth 🕊️ / Vrede op Aarde

Changing the focus point, because the gardens at this part of the Peace Palace are slightly overgrown.
