Someone compared history to a lame horse. Following this comparison, there have always been men and women who tried to ride this horse somewhat sharper. Some of these are forgotten and it seemed necessary to remind them. Others are known by their name - and yet unknown. I want to tell their story and, where possible, let them speak on their own. Which gave the name of this site: "Our History".
