Did you study history at school?

Yes. I learned in my German History class. One project was a report on the Holocaust. At the time I had friends and neighbors whose parents or elderly family members were survivors, so some of them felt they knew me well enough to discuss things they’d witnessed. I also had another teacher, with whom I was close, who had been originally from Germany and whose older brothers had been Hitlerjugend. It was a source of shame for her. They all trusted me with the information, and I never betrayed them.
It was some really powerful stuff. It’s why I become so angry with “deniers”, because I’ve spoken to people who [b]lived[/b] through it. 😞
