Afghanistan’s Wakhan Corridor
Afghanistan’s Kyrgyz nomads survive in one of the most remote, high-altitude, bewitching landscapes on Earth. It’s a heavenly life—and a living hell.
A book of Matthieu Paley’s photographs of the Kyrgyz, “Pamir: Forgotten on the Roof of the World” was published in October by La Martinière in French and Knesebeck in German. He is trying to get it printed in English, too.
Photographs from his two latest trips in 2012 are featured in the February 2013 issue of National Geographic magazine, accompanied by a story by Michael Finkel.

i spent the afternoon listening to the testimony of a holocaust survivor, a man who survived life in a ghetto, in auschwitz, on a death march across germany, to finally emigrate to the uk in the late 1940s after the war was over.
he was so honest, so energetic, so funny and warm and genuine and so full of hope and love for the world, even after everything he’s been through. he had such a wonderful sense of humour and was such a mischief, but the love he clearly had for sharing his story with young people was so so inspiring.
his message was simple. ‘don’t hate. never let hate in your heart.’
