  6. For Americans to understand modern Europe, it's important to know something of European history. Most Americans are more familiar with English history and the fact that the French loved kings named Louis, but the rest is a muddle.

  11. When I was in school, we were taught that most Germans didn't really know what was going on. And how horrified they were when they found out.

    And… like; it's kind of hard not to notice when people suddenly vanish. But people can be very wishful thinking when terrible things happen. So, you know. It sounded kind of plausible.

    We are currently getting a correcting lesson.
