World Climate Conference and Albert Schweitzer is currently a well mediocre movie about Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné and his jungle started in the cinema; appear only three biographies about him. What he has failed so magnificently with the climate conference to do in Copenhagen?
One should remember his ideas: a small book of the Union Verlag Berlin 1974 (7th edition) is before me: Albert Schweitzer, "The teaching of reverence for life". This book was based on a proposal by Gerald Goetting during his visit in August 1961 in Lambaréné. 
a lecture at the French Academy of Sciences on 20 October 1952 begins:.
"That which we call after a Greek word borrowed ethics and after the Latin taken morality is, in general, in the right human behavior is not limited to our but also of the other well, like the human society has to deal with us "
From the blurb:
." I am life that wants to live in the midst of life that wants to live "This thesis penetrates to Schweitzer. the idea before, in which world and life affirmation and ethics combine with each other. The term "reverence for life", in thought justified, is the cornerstone on which to rest any culture. Only the ethics of reverence for life is complete because it has to do not only with the behavior of man to his fellow man, but expands the circle of solidarity to all creatures. in this commandment of love attitude is a tremendous responsibility . The people of the world "
was from this responsibility feel probably nothing in Copenhagen, but what one should expect from politicians who are guided by interests of all times if they had this little booklet in the pocket and had from time to time? their action and decision-based instruction from it, it would have happened otherwise.
75 years of "Father and Son" 
appeared 75 years ago, on 13 December 1934, in the Berliner Illustrierte "the first history of the series "Father and Son", which was preparing a long three years to 1937 a week children and parents need to relax. Under the pseudonym "eop" (eoplauen) hid the Artist and illustrator Kurt Erich Ohser, the long time with Erich Kaestner was friends and worked together with him.
After Kästner works by the Nazis on 10 May 1933 at the Berlin Opera House was burned, was rejected Ohser's request to take in the "Reich Association of German Press" 1934 first, later withdrew the rejection, however, and was able in 1934 by supporting the Ullstein publishing the series in the "Berliner Illustrierte" . appear But the end came in 1937 for publication.
Erich Ohser made his distaste for the Nazi regime no secret, and so in 1944 he was arrested by denunciation to the Gestapo. Under circumstances not fully explained, he took in the night of 5 to 6 April 1944 in the detention center Alt-Moabit life came to a trial before Freislers infamous People's Court before.
addition to his world-famous comic strips of "father and son he left behind a vast range of artistic work (cartoons, personal projects, landscape, nude and animal studies and portraits of his contemporaries). 2003 was the occasion of the 100th Birthday (on March 18, 1903), a picture story for a stamp sheetlet the post selected. His grave is on the main cemetery in Plauen, in the immediate vicinity of his son.
