Andy and Marwa - two children and the war


Two children are paying for the war. Marwa, a girl from a poor district of Baghdad, is 12 years old; Andy, a student from Florida, is 18 when the Iraq war destroys their dreams. Just as in the book Wer weint schon um Abdul und Tanaya? Jürgen Todenhöfer tells global stories from the victim’s viewpoint. It is a plea against war – committed, compassionate, moving.







Who will bother to weep for Abdul and Tanaya?


Those who in their search for revenge lose sight of justice, those who no longer see individual people, are squandering our future. Jürgen Todenhöfer’s book is a brilliant political analysis of failed, dangerous strategies in a battle of lies. It is a gripping, vivid and humane document. And a passionate plea against senseless wars.

The author has been to Afghanistan many times, and helped its people over several decades. He has heard many stories of hopelessness, and is now informing the world about what he has seen.
