Goll describes the human condition in his descriptions of Weimar Germany, Nazi Germany, and the Cold War. He lived through it all and was a prolific writer. His diaries describe the conditions of the times, of the German condition through two wars and a divided Germany. He lived through the hard times of Weimar, and records this scene of a couple pushing a cart through the snow, working hard, getting stuck, the man raging, the woman enduring it all. He reflects about the human condition, going from one mistake to another, struggling and groping in the darkness, looking for a way out, for the good path.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
