One of the pit-holes of the world.
Back in 1977 I had a student from there. He arrived in the U.S., having been given 24 hours for his family to leave Burma or die. They were allowed one suitcase each. Not much for a lifetime.
The family had the feeling it was coming. They changed all their belongings for gold, to wear. They didn't get out with much but they did have their gold.
One can't get the real price of gold in this country, but it was all they had to use for escape.
They were some of the lucky ones.
There have been many “Hitlers” before Hitler was born and they will be many more.
