On the move in the world's crisis areas – how do people cope with war and violence, what changes in the face of foreign suffering for the reporter, and what role does the witness play? Carolin Emcke writes in her letters about places that have fallen out of the media spotlight, even though war and suffering continue there: from the endless civil war in Colombia, from slave labor in the free trade zones of Nicaragua, from the struggle for survival of street children in the sewers of Bucharest, from the Serbian massacres of Kosovo Albanians and the retaliatory attacks on Serbs, the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
