#1 You just can't keep these good, loyal Nazis down. There must be something in the collective German psyche that automatically turns these pea-brains into Nazis and makes them impervious to any modern, enlightening influences or any sense of humanity.

On the bright side, there are plenty Germans like the two young cyclists whos story was reported in Monday's Jerusalem Post. They "biked 5000 kilometres from Berlin to Jerusalem to present Yad Vashem with a stone from a German concentration camp.
"The stone given to Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority was hewn as a building block by a Sachsenhausen inmate at a construction materials factory, where many victims of Nazi forced labour died.
"Aaron Blankenburg, 21, said at the ceremony that as they embarked on their first ever journey to Israel with such emotionally charged "baggage", he shuddered at the thought of how people suffered under such inhumane conditions at the camp."

#3 Dave, I don't know whether or not you have been to Yad Vashem. It is a very emotionally moving place. After going through the Hall of Mirrors that commemorates the children who were killed in the Holocaust, I had tears streaming down my face. I am a Christian who married a Jewish woman. Everyone on her father's side was murdered except her father. Both grandparents on on her mother's side and four of her aunts and uncles were also murdered. Thanks for the nice piece about Yad Vashem. It was appreciated.

#10 For "Dave" read "Bryan", and all will be instantly clear to you silly people.

My apologies, Bryan, the blood obviously wasn't pooling in my brain at that moment. I wish I could call it a Senior moment, but the MRI definitely proved that my problems lie elsewhere ;-)

#11 Ditto. Thanks Bryan. Brains on overload. Think I'll visit Alaska Paul's Sci-Fi link now sheepishly.

#14 I appreciate the appreciation. Yes, I have been to Yad Vashem, and to the Hall of Mirrors where the names of the children who were murdered are continually read out. It's difficult to find words for the reaction to the experience.
