Walter Laqueur in memoriam

Yesterday, Oct. 1, my close friend, the historian Walter Laqueur passed away at the age of 97 in Washington DC. Twenty-five years of inspiring friendship. Walter was also an adviser for our film “Watching the Moon at Night” in which he himself has an important part. May his memory be a blessing.
