A Jewish child in Poland who was taken by his parents to stay with a Gentile family, friends of theirs, was at a grocery with his “adopted” family, and listened to the grocer laugh about how the child’s entire village, including his parents, had been rounded up and hauled away. He never saw anyone from his childhood again, including any member of his family, and it took him some years before he had any trust or love for anyone.

Evil on this level practiced by Nazis is beyond my comprehension. I said a prayer for the young child even though by this time he's probably an old grandfather...

Amy whatshername’s book on Stalin is thick, and what I’ve read is illuminating, but I had to quit reading it, when I read things they stick in there, and there are things in there I wish I’d never read.
