| L Tisch: The fact that many Americans have some German background is of no consequence to me. I am English, and my experience with Germans during WWII is far different, and much darker, than the more recent one of my American nephew. I trust only that our different experiences form us differently. However, I am labouring, at my nephew`s urging, to overcome the past. Arrogant Germans like Axel do not make that task any easier. However, your suggestion I visit Germany has recently occurred to me as well, and I thank you for it. I speak the language reasonably well (British schoolboys needed to learn it, or French, at one time) I admire German culture, at least that prior to 1933, and enjoy reading Goethe and Schiller, Lessing and Heine in German. Perhaps Axel will let me kip with him if I visit Berlin, and we shall work out our differences face to face. Kind regards. |
