I appreciate that Dimitry and I don't do that. However there was alot more knowledge,maybe not complicity,but knowledge of atrocity.
I think the common German man lost control of his country in the mid 30's. I am not a German history expert but wasn't it about 1934 that Hitler was voted into office ? From then on it was impossible to stop.I have become a big Mozart buff in the last year and as such have listened many hours to his German language operas and concert arias. I found myself very put off at first. When listening to Bastien und Bastienne or Zauberflote where there is substantial spoken German I got uncomfortable. My whole life has been in the shadow of WWII with war films galore. Germans are evil, German is an evil tongue. Well as a very plesant offshoot of my Mozart study I've been able to loose that feeling. I even have a "Learn German" set of CD's I'm about to start on.
I think I would just like more honesty as in the man you quote. Yes I saw and I knew but I couldn't stop it.
