The Suez Crisis of 1956 was the nadir of Britain's twentieth century, the moment when the once-superpower was bullied into retreat. "Great Britain has lost an empire and not yet found a role," said Dean Acherson, a former US secretary of state. Acheson's line has entered into the canon of great quotations: but it was wrong.

Hans Würtz war Pädagoge, lange Jahre arbeitete er im ehemaligen Oskar-Helene-Heim in Berlin mit körperbehinderten Menschen. Seine Mission: Sie arbeitsfähig machen, sie "entkrüppeln". Seine Grundannahmen: Teils äußerst obskur - und im eugenischen Fahrwasser der Weimarer Republik und des Nationalsozialismus. Würtz schloss vom Aussehen auf den Charakter - er hatte die Idee von einer "Krüppelseele". Er unterteilte körperbehinderte Menschen in Aussehens-Kategorien. Gleichzeitig schuf er Empowerment-Räume und...

Im kommenden Jahr wird der Dalai Lama 90 Jahre alt. Was bedeutet das nahende Lebensende des aktuellen Dalai Lamas für den Fortbestand der tibetischen Kultur? Werden die Chancen für mehr Freiheit weiter schrumpfen, die bereits seit der Eingliederung des Landes in die VR China in den fünfziger Jahren immer weiter beschnitten wurde?
