After the liberation of Auschwitz, Dachau, I think everyone in my
generation assumes that you all knew at the beginning what the Nazis were
doing. But you didn't at first, no one really did, did they? There are
protests and often they turn violent over Vietnam...no one ever talks about
the opposition to your War. In fact it's been polished up so much that
unless you really dig, you'd never know that our side made mistakes, too.
But I think you're right...some bits are always the same through history.
People break the same ways, no matter that year it is.

...I suppose some of them heal the same way, too.
