Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Skating Tour) Thursday 22 januari 1942 with extremely low temperatures, ranging from -33 Celcius at sunrise to -15 later that the day. Despite the German occupation, a record number of participants showed up at the start, 95% of whom managed to reach the finish. After the race, the Leeuwarden Diaconessen Hospital saw an influx of cold-related injuries. Many skaters suffered frostbite, including frostbitten eyes, ears, toes, hands, and even genitals. Some had to undergo amputations of their toes. Three tour riders later died in the hospital as a result of their frostbite injuries. (1). Nazi-approved dutch cinema news ‘Tobis Nieuws’.

Today , I finalized the upgrade of the 2019 news video ESPACE Simon GRONOWSKI (Ed. 20190220).
Final corrections with the help of Philippe Renette of the transcription of the soundtrack (French) and the English translation for captions were implemented in the video at YouTube. And the 20190220 posts were updated.

The video was ISAN registered as Miracles Doc #7 .

A new edit of that Miracles Doc #7 is being prepared as the preferred edition for use in the context of a new documentary on the street art mural created by Hyer in that Espace Simon Gronowski at the S2J School Center this year.

Enemies Like Us • @1MEMO 20250901

Simon Gronowski visiting Liège, Tuesday 19 november 2013 for a series of three testimonies that day at the Saint-Sépulcre school — now the S2J School Center.
Simon is holding the German newspaper Der Welt of Saturday 16th Nov 2013 featuring a portrait of him with Koenraad Tinel by Dieter Telemans in the article ‘Feinde wie wir’ (Enemies like us) by Felix Stephan.

Still of the short film featuring magical moments of that day, entitled Simon Stompin’ at the Saint Sépulcre, at the Miracles site.
Today , I have been working again on that video (produced in 2022), creating a transcription of the soundtrack (French) and an English translation for captions to add in the video.
That video I plan to use , together with the video I worked on yesterday for captions, in the context of a new documentary on the street art mural created by Hyer at the S2J School Center this year.
