School’s out. But it won’t win forever

School’s out. The school is destroyed. The school, in Kharkiv, is this crater that a Ukrainian soldier inspects. The building had already been bombed in March. In July, in the last few days, on two occasions. Furthermore, it is an institution for visually impaired children. The rockets have gutted the windows, the ceiling is damaged. The school staff, with very humble means, undertook to collect dust, glass shards, shreds of the wall; and in the images that tell of this small enterprise there is that luminous truth of the “fabricator mundi” of which Hannah Arendt speaks, a man, a woman simply endowed with good will.

This man of good will can be anyone and everyone, maybe even you and me.

It is not enough? Not in a country at war. But it is a titanic gesture in its simplicity: to begin to rebuild while the destruction does not stop.
