🎉Special Day: Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

▶️ As the world remembers then end of World War II today let's sing an anti-war song that has a truly remarkable (=special) history. American singer Pete Seeger combined an old Irish folk song melody with verses (=parts of a poem or song) from a Ukrainian/Russian folk song and turned it into a protest song that now stands for (=represents, is associated with) pacifism (=belief in or activism for peace) in general and the peace movement of the 1960s and 70s against the Vietnam War.

This version is sung by Joan Baez, a contemporary (=modern) American folk singer famous for her social justice activism.

🎉Special Day: Don’t say this to children

▶️ Children are pure and innocent (=not guilty), and yet we often blame them for being clumsy (=not careful, dropping things or falling), ignorant (=not knowing sth) or wicked (=evil). It hurts them and makes everything worse. Let a bunch of German kids teach you a lesson today. Happy Children’s Day! 👧👦
