I thought we atomiced Japan.

Germans felt so bad about what they did during the Holocaust, that they brought in millions of Muslims who hate Jews even more than the Nazis did.

“German industrialist, Nazi Party member, war profiteer, alcoholic, and shameless womanizer”

I always laugh at the term “womanizer”. It implies that helpless innocent women are hypnotized by men into doing things they would NEVER dream of.

He said, rather, that it was immoral for Germans to reproduce, since they were historically such warmongers and racists.

And now they've imported exactly that to replace themselves.

They would have done better to stand pat. Would that his 20yo version could have seen the present situation...where is a time machine when you need one?

[Mrs. Don-o]

I know... the bitter irony of this is astounding.

[dfwgator]

There’s a lesson here that is applicable to this election.

God can use incredibly flawed men to do good.

[DesertRhino]

“They can never atone for their crimes nor will they ever recover the irreplaceable genetic loss of their best stock between 1914-1945. The results insanity of the Kaiser and Hitler can never be forgotten or reversed.”

That’s the same collective guilt mentality that allowed the Germans to murder Jews. The German people didn’t commit crimes, individuals did. A German today has zero guilt they should carry. And the genetic loss of their best stock? You must be kidding. The mass murderers on the WWII German military were not the best stock.
The final error in that was to join the German military of WWI with WWII, and of the Kaiser with Hitler. They could not be more opposite.
In WWI Germany was not evil or a cause of the War. Britain carries more blame than Germany in WWI. The German soldier in WWI had the right to vote, the average Brit did not. The average Russian soldier was fighting for the last absolute monarchy. (in the war to make the world safe for democracy)

[Mrs. Don-o]

Ambien. That happens,too.

[Gay State Conservative]

The end of Schindler's List suggested that he had a difficult life after the war.It would appear that booze might have been one of the main problems.It's not difficult to imagine how anyone,including Schindler,who had suffered,or seen suffering,during WWII would turn to booze to kill the pain.Although he was clearly an imperfect man my guess is that he didn't have a huge problem at The Pearly Gates.

[DesertRhino]

“I called it “sick, irrational inherited guilt”. I urged him not to do anything so destructive and drastic.?”

Wonderful story. True to German friends I have known. And good for you. Its the antithesis of Americanism that the descendants are also guilty of the crimes of the father. Good for you.
And nice seeing you here.

[DesertRhino]

Well, now if someone drugs a woman into a stupor, that’s a different kettle of fish. That’s just a Cosby rapist. I was speaking of the ones who use charm and blarney to get the women.
I just always roll my eyes that the objects of their attention are helpless waifs before his onslaught of BS.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You’ve got a good point there. Male and female “sexual adventurers” have a lot in common. None of it very attractive, when you look just under the surface.

[DesertRhino]

True. And again, I have some German friends who feel that collective guilt deeply. Born in the late 60s.

Thanks for the post. I tried to find the “Leanings” article that Peter Egan wrote about Schindler shortly after the book came out and post a link to it but could not find it online. And yes, we do look at life differently, wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ring,,This RING, is worth 3 , maybe 4.

Moving.

I visited Schindler grave site in Jerusalem,
One of many unexpected memories.
