How do you pick up your life again after having gone through so much misery? Do you talk about all the hardships you had to face or do you prefer to bury your head in the sand? Are you looking for revenge or do you rather help others?

How do you (re)start a career when everything around you is in ruins? Is it just a matter of rolling up your sleeves and start clearing the rubble? Or does the rubble perhaps offer you the unique chance to do things differently?
And what to do when your efforts are being opposed? What to do when after the old enemy leaves, a new one immediately shows up? How do you resist?
Here you can read the stories of the people who reconstructed Europe. How they struggled and overcame. How they achieved great things but got disillusioned in the end. These are true stories about hope and ideals, about sheer impossible missions and clever solutions. Some of the stories will also be featured in the theatre piece Pyrrha Throws a Stone.
