I’ve spent a lot of time in Kyiv and Korea and I’m aware of those atrocities. The Nazis are more contemporary and some of the perpetrators still alive hence they are targets. I recall asking a man that was a “Youth for Hitler” why, and he stated his family would have advocated for the devil himself conditions were so bad at the time. No race of people or country is entirely innocent.

“For children are innocent and love justice, while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy.”

History is the single most important Subject the one could be taught in School. It is too bad that many do not agree.
This who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.

hello haim,

Re <<practically the only one surviving from 2 families that were decimated during WWII, as many could not have children or others did not want children including my dad.
I am in this world only because of my mother, who insisted that the best revenge is not only having a child but also a child with his mother tongue being German>>

i recognise evil when i see evil for i have seen enough, and i cannot fathom the evil that would lead people to do the atrocious as done during the world wars and the minor wars and the police actions and and and

day before yesterday korea, day after vietnam, and today yemen, and and and perpetual and endless

i generally shy away, and most of the time refuse to watch war movies

on a happier note, i report to you that as the kids grow older, they come to better appreciate the passing of one year for the rise of another. they are now excited, in anticipatory state, about their upcoming hi-speed train trip, to lime stone locale that had provided some inspiration to avatar the movie and too-many of coconut's paintings but only from photos - it is good that such beautiful places exist in reality, is accessible and inexpensive

am looking forward to the show & tell as my parents once did for me

shall make sure to bring a proper camera on the trip
