But our very own grandparents. That's not something to erase from your mind easily. You can't really say that most back then had no part in it - my grandparents weren't part of the SS or even closely affiliated wit the party (although one of my great-granddads was), but they all saw these people vanish. My home county was the first "Judenfreie Gau" in Germany, the first region from which all Jews had been deported. This is the synagogue in my home town burning to the ground in '38, when my grandparents were 38,36,26 and 16 respectively.



The only thing I can be proud of today is that we don't hide these things. But that has precious little to do with patriotism.

Your vigilance is praiseworthy, Alex. An unblinking appraisal of history may not prevent its repetition, but it will certainly help.
