My grandfather was supported the Nazis not because he had any particular political views whatsoever beyond a vague sense that Germany should whup ass, but because he came from an extremely troubled family and found more support in the Hitlerjugend when he was a child than he did at home. Very banal. He had a very sad life actually.

My mother, a writer and an intellectual of no particular political stripe, counts two great loves in her life. The first was a young Romanian brown-shirt (fascist) who was shot after the war. The second was a jew, my father, with whom she lived for fifity-five years, till his death three years ago.
