Jean Reno

Family, Home, Down

Agnes Smedley

Strong, Revolution, Working

Wolfgang Schauble

Light, Optimism, Possible

In Germany, you have a huge official memorial to the murdered Jews and then you have this artist who's been putting these stumbling blocks, these brass cobblestones, outside the houses Jews were taken away from. It's somewhat controversial and has met some resistance.

Robin Roberts

Work, Live, Before
