I remember when I first read about the details of WW2. My prior, simple, understanding was that, stopping the mass-murder Hitler must have been an obvious goal of the world.
This childish notion was seriously up-rooted when I read about the
very large numbers of Americans that wanted the US to stay out of other peoples bussiness.
I thought, how can it be? How can so many let this mass-murder (exterminator!) continue down his path?
Then I learned about how the horror stories of death camps had been dismissed as fiction when the red-cross went and inspected one of these so-called death-camps. Of course the red-cross found a camp of prisoners enjoying a concert, of all things.
Done! . .. if you can't find it, it must not be there.
So here we are, at another historical time, and I'm reading the thoughts and rationalizations, of
reasonable people stongly advocating against taking out a killing regime.
This leads to help my understanding of what 1940 must have been like. -thanks-
And, makes me think of a few words from the past.
