Is Auschwitz a laughing matter?

Article Abstract:

There has traditionally been a very strong taboo against making light of the Holocaust. It has been widely believed that emphasis must be placed on the terror of the Holocaust, to ensure that people never forget it. However, it can be argued that it is perhaps now time to take a new approach to presenting the Holocaust, one which is closer to comedy. Comedy has the power to break down the visible world and reassemble it, and there is thus no reason to keep it distant from suffering.

Sex and drugs and Amsterdam

Article Abstract:

The city of Amsterdam, Netherlands, offers many startling contrasts. It has a crowded red-light district, but this district ends abruptly in quiet, attractive streets. There are some similarities with Venice, Italy, but also some sights associated only with Amsterdam, such as cafes where dope can be purchased. There is a relaxed atmosphere, and the city also has a number of well-known local characters who provide amusement for visitors.
