Zwei Jahre 7. Oktober: Nach dem Überleben
Unser Autor konnte auf dem Nova-Festival nur knapp den Hamas-Mördern entfliehen. Ein Blick zurück – und nach vorn
»Was danach kam, war Dunkelheit. Nicht nur die Bilder in meinem Kopf, nicht nur der Schmerz, mit dem wir für immer leben müssen. Sondern auch die Dunkelheit in der Welt.« Ofir Amir konnte am 7. Oktober 2023 auf dem Nova-Festival nur knapp den Hamas-Mördern entfliehen.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

I keep thinking about how when you are part of the first wave of a new field, the best frame of mind you can have is to hope you will be surpassed — because it means people have built on what you started. And if you’re very good, you helped folks get to the place where they can do that work & shine.

An older woman is holding a smart metre. She is wearing a colourful beaded headband and necklace, and a patterned top. A bracelet is on her wrist. She is standing near a desk with a laptop and a phone.
An older woman is seen in a bright living room, adjusting a thermostat on the wall. The thermostat is next to a stone archway. She is smiling, dressed in a leopard print blouse with red floral accents.
A older man and woman sit at a wooden table, reviewing bills and using a smartphone. Paperwork, glasses, and mugs are scattered on the table. The lighting is bright. The background shows framed artwork and a minimalist interior design.
Older woman at home while using a tablet. She is sitting on a sofa in a living room with a modern interior design. The kitchen is in the background, featuring wooden cabinets. Shelves with storage bins and indoor plants decorate the room. She is wearing jeans and a green shirt.
