Two people are accused of being part of a group involved in the events in Babi Yar in WWII, but others say there is not sufficient evidence the accused were involved.

How much relief is awarded by bringing people to justice, and how much relief can be found by releasing the hatred and resentment and forgiving?

The Story of Twin Eva Mozes Kor
I saw a striking video about Eva, a woman who was one of twins, experimented on by Mengele in Auschwitz. In the video she describes how she asked a former Nazi to write and sign a document describing what he saw. Later she wrote and said she forgave him, and she said that she felt much better, empowered afterwards.

After watching the video on Facebook I discovered that not only did she meet a camp attendant who used to watch the people dying in the gas chamber, she adopted as a grandson a descendant of camp commander Höss.

Further searches revealed that she had written a book and set up an educational foundation in Indiana, USA. She grew up in Transylvania in Romania.

Fascinated by twins? See them at this restaurant in Moscow, or in New York

A restaurant in Russia has hired sets of twins, inspired by an early film, in an effort to attract more business. If you are a twin, this would be a fun place to go. I presume they allow you to take photos and even encourage it.

The Daily Mail pictures two sets of twins, blonde and brunette. They wear matching outfits. How do you tell them apart? Any name badges?

I hope there aren't any mix-ups, such as:
"I ordered a drink from you."
"No you didn't."
"There's your drink."
"Oh, dear - now I've got two drinks!"

Where is it? Moscow.

• Name: Twin Stars diner. Moscow. Russia.

Film: Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors. 1964

• http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24514947

• New York twins restaurant, run by twins, and gives two for one drinks to twins who are customers.

If you don't have a twin, you could look for a lookalike. A website which charges a fee will put out your picture and appeal for your lookalike twin or in German d o p p e l g a n g er to contact you. (Spaces inserted to evade predictive text which wants to insert the word banger.)

Cities and small towns in England are twinned with others in France and Germany. Once a year the Council members of Harrow visit their counterparts overseas. (You can halve costs by going away one year and staying home to entertain the next year.)

Maybe the twins restaurants should twin with each other.
