| Auschwitz.
| Not, interesting, Oszweicim (sp?). How terrible to be

| inevitable answer to that inevitable question.

| Yes, that must be a bummer. About 10 years ago I read an interview with
| Eichmann's son, who at least at that time was teaching anthro at the
| University of Tubingen. He said something like "I know my father did some
| very bad things, but to me he will always be the guy who taught me to ride
a
| bike."
i hate to sound cruel, but does this sound vaguely reminiscent of strom thurmond's black daughter to the rest of you as it does to me?

Thank God Hitler didn't have any children. On the other hand,
| Stalin's grandson and great-grandchildren (who is named Josif
Veniaminovich
| Dzhugashvili - imagine growing up with that name) are down in Georgia.
| Stalin III spends his time glorifying the memory of his illustrious
| progenitor, which of course is less controversial in Stalinophilic
Georgia.
|
| My grandfather was in fact a Nazi (not a party member as he was too young,
| 17 when he was drafted into the Wehrmacht in 1943, but a Hitlerite). I
used
| to have some real psychological baggage over that. BTW he wasn't a vicious
| anti-Semite either; in his mind he was just following the orders of the
| Fuehrer like a good patriotic soldier.
