...I love to know more about some touchy subjects in the past ... for example, how Nazi cult is formed

I think one of the early sources of the Nazi cult was Hitler's book "Mein Kampf". I don't know too much about it though, but I'll bet you can find a lot of infomation on the web. I suppose one question to ask is where did the Nazi's go after WWII? I suppose a number went to South Africa and many more to South America. I feel that I learned very little in High School and College regarding modern world history. So much of what I was required read and study has been of little use and a lot of it was misleading. Some schools don't teach evolution because it conflicts with certain religious beliefs. I'm lucky I didn't go to one of those.

What interests me now is early US stock market history -- say around the years 1880-1935.

...learn Mandarin

I learned Kana and about 70 Kanji at one point, and PinYin and a number of chinese characters, but I sure don't remember them any more. But knowing the Asian language structure based on the Syllabet as opposed to the Western Alphabet was interesting. My feeling is that anyone who has learned Cantonese (I think one of the most complex spoken languages) should be able to learn any language. Cantonese I think doesn't have a true written form, but to write a Cantonese will use the traditional form of Mandarin. Over the last few decades the Mainland decided to change "simplify" many of the characters. Correct me if I made any mistakes here.

Written Japanese is much more complex than Chinese because the meaning of a character depends on the characters adjacent to it - every Kanji has multiple meanings - as amy as 20 or more in some cases.
