Far Away, So Near

I was a high school junior and non-politicized, uneducated to that point.

That summer I would read the first book, independently, I ever read about Auschwitz.

Then the worm turned, and things got weird.  At one point I mistakenly thought it was over, that the consciousness of a nation had been uplifted.

No more war!  Justice!

I was wrong.  We are lost forever.
