History Repeated.

"Terrible things are happening outside... poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." - Anne Frank (Jan 13, 1943)

Growing up (b 1940) I wondered how Germans could live with themselves against the backdrop of their recent history.

People talk about it, people are aghast about it . . .

BUT no one is doing anything about it!

Tipping point . . .what will trigger the general population to rebel against the tyranny?

I've seen so many tipping points come and go, and thought . . . surely, this time someone will do something to stop this nightmare?

But no . . . and then the nightmare just got worse.
