the other side of the coin
the children of the resistance: it's very difficult to talk to you- just think, perhaps your father betrayed mine during the occupation.
the children of the reich: yes, that's quite possible, but don't you think it might be difficult for me to talk to you, given that perhaps my father betrayed yours?
from The German Trauma: Experiences and Reflections 1938-2001 by Gitta Sereny
well, this is a book i have been interested in for some time. thankfully, it was still there when i finally got around to picking it up.
what happened? how did it happen? why did it happen?-these are the questions she tried to answer, through her conversations with people from both sides of the War.
where do we go from here? how do we cope with the past? how do we heal the wounds, not just of them, but also of ourselves?- these are the questions which she set us thinking on.
all these questions are important, because ultimately, we don't want it to happen again.
