    In the world our children will face, neither static definitions of intelligence nor traditional ideas of training will be good enough. To prepare them, parents and educators need to reframe the question of how we educate and come up with an answer that uses different terms than we are accustomed to.
    
    If we want our children to thrive in the 21st century, these are the things we will need to prepare them to do:
    
    • Blend multiple intelligences in ways that might be described as synthetic or even symphonic.
    • Be ambitious and focused without being self-obsessed.
    • Value asynchrony and even seek it out.
    • Use their own marginality to generate novel perspective and new work.
    • Exhibit a steadfast resilience in all phases of life.
    • Measure themselves by what they produce over the course of a lifetime and not by any static notion of capacity or quotient.
    
    In the fractured environment of the 21st century, true success will be unique and unexpected―the result of a creative response to complex, shifting challenges. In light of that, how do we prepare? How do we educate ourselves and our children for life in 2050?

    The controversial 1991 War Crimes Act gave new powers to courts to try non-British citizens resident in the UK for war crimes committed during WWII. But in spite of the extensive investigative and legal work that followed, and the expense of some £11 million, it led to just one conviction: that in 1999 of Anthony (Andrzej) Sawoniuk. 
     
     
     
    Safe Haven considers for the first time why and how convictions failed to follow investigations. Within the broader context of war crimes investigations in the United States, Germany, and Australia, the authors reassess the legal and investigative processes and decisions that stymied inquiries, from the War Crimes Act itself to the restrictive criteria applied to it. Taken together, the authors argue that these—including the interpretations of who could and should be prosecuted and decisions about the nature and amount of evidence needed for trial—meant that many Nazi collaborators escaped justice and never appeared in a criminal court. 
     
     
     
    The authors situate this history within the legacy of the Holocaust: how, if at all, do the belated attempts to address a failure of justice sit with an ever-growing awareness of the Holocaust, represented by memorialization and education? In so doing, Safe Haven provokes a timely reconsideration of the relationship between law, history, and truth.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” by Ottessa Moshfegh follows an unnamed narrator in New York City who embarks on an experiment to "hibernate" for a year, retreating from life through excessive sleep, drugs, and isolation. Detached from society, her relationships, and her career, she seeks a complete escape from emotional pain and trauma. The novel explores themes of nihilism, privilege, and the search for meaning in a world that feels superficial and empty. It critiques the art world, consumerism, and self-care culture while presenting the narrator’s journey as one of both detachment and self-destruction.
