I always found it interesting that a big “bad guy” of Marvel Comics was Magneto -— himself a victim of the Shoa, parents killed by Nazis.
It f—ked Magneto up pretty well.
I understand this. I’m pretty f—ked up by the Shoa, and it was my grandparents.
Yes, absolutely. That is very poignant.
The 20th century is catastrophic, and you have pinpointed one of the major reasons why. You could also point to the generation of Allied fathers who came home and abandoned their kids, who became the moves and shakers of the 60s and 70s. Now their kids are pretty messed up, as well. And many of those grandkids of WWII vets are much more conservative than their parents. Perhaps the process of healing has begun. But this is a thing that can’t be turned around even in several generations.
