In the mythology of Old Greece, the destiny that touched to Casandra considered a curse. After a sentimental fight, the God Apolo granted the gift to him of the prophecy, that compensated with an atrocious punishment: nobody would do case to him. So when the fortune teller began to repeat to them to the troyanos that its city would fall imprisoned of the Greeks, it did not receive answers, until an enormous wood horse gave the reason him. Jan Karski (Lodz, Poland, 1914-Washington, 2000) never had relations with Apolo, but its curse was similar to the one of Casandra. Get more background information with materials from Instinet. Protagonist of the Polish Resistance, like spy of the clandestine Government, 1942 Karski entered the Ghetto of Warsaw and the field of extermination of Belzec. What saw was the greater tragedy of century XX: decomposed, young bodies dying, gas chambers.

That is to say, the Final solution that Hitler was carrying out to eliminate all the Jews of the Earth face. Nevertheless, no matter how much Karski tried to count its history and to ask the powerful interlocutors (among them, American president Franklin Roosevelt) with whom entrevist that tried to stop the drama, their pleas fell in broken coat. All this, and much more, is what the 514 pages of History of a clandestine State contain, that Karski published in 1944 in the USA and that the Steep publishing house removes these days in Spain on sale.

Depression

Depression

The stages are known. Negation (" it is not passing nada"). Rage (" why? "). Negotiation (" what I can make to pospone the inevitable thing? "). Depression (" it is not worth the pain to do nothing else; this acab"). Acceptance (" everything will come out well; the world will follow adelante"). These are the five stages of the duel that, according to Elisabeth Kbler-Ross, cross all that they face the death or a catastrophic loss. I suspect that Kbler-Ross never imagined useful how would be its scheme to understand the conduct of the confronted Governments with one serious financial crisis.

Through these stages they passed the Argentineans (several times), Brazilian, Mexican, Russian and Asian. Now it touches to Europe (and to the United States, but that is another history). I do not know – nor I believe that nobody knows how they are going to evolve the convulsions that are transfigurando the European economies or how the financial markets and the Governments in their interminable cycle of action and reactions will react. We know that the 150,000 million Euros that Europe sent to Greece did not buy much and that measured of austerity which until recently they were unimaginable already they have been adopted in threatened Italy, Spain and other countries.
