Careful, Joanna. You are dangerously close to saying that fascists are human beings. That is taboo. Fascists are evil monsters programmed to kill. The same thing goes for Stalinists.

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.
