Unbreaking news – The Correspondent !
UPDATE – The Correspondent , December 12th , 2018 :
Choose what you pay for The Correspondent …
Join, and become a pioneer !
In the last two days, The Correspondent crossed two major milestones: more than 37,000 people are now founding members of The Correspondent. And those founding members have raised more than $2 million towards our $2.5 million goal. That is amazing.
Now $307,518 left to raise – but only 2 days and 15 hours left to make The Correspondent a reality .
The Correspondent , Nov 22, 2018. – Do you want to change journalism with me?
Choose what you pay for The Correspondent !
I like to tell you about The Correspondent …. a new movement for unbreaking news. I am a founding member (of the original Dutch version) for 5 years now …. and I think you might like to join as well !
Right now they are crowdfunding, and they have asked for my help. They need 2.5 million dollars to launch an English version.
News as we know it leaves us cynical, divided, and less informed. Together we can change that!
The Correspondent is ad-free and wants to redefine what news is about, shifting the focus from the sensational to the foundational.
They need 2.2 million euro’s/2.5 million dollars to launch an English version.
If you join, you become a pioneer.
You can choose what you pay and if they don’t reach their goal (I hope not, of course) you get your money back 🙂
If you’d like to join: you can find more information here in The Correspondent

Synopsis – During the Shoah, the Nazis, in their quest for the final solution of the Jewish question, utilized thousands of trains from Germany and the occupied countries to transport 3,000,000 Jews to the concentration and death camps.
This is the true story of one of the most audacious and heroic rescue attempts, which occurred on April 19, 1943, the first night of Passover, at the same time that the Warsaw Ghetto uprising began. On that night, Transport XX departed Mechelen, Belgium at 10 p.m. with 1631, Jewish men, women and children for Auschwitz II-Birkenau.
Half an hour later, it was stopped by three young Belgians armed with only 1 pistol, pliers and a hurricane lamp. The only documented attack on a death train during the Shoah. What happened leading up to, during and after this audacious rescue attempt are featured with archival footage and survivor interviews.
