People don't like talk about, everywhere,because each one of us is responsible for what is happening worldwide, all the holocausts and wars and genozids and so on. In each one of us lies the cause of that. So only to focus on the nazi holocaust is not the hole truth. It's a worldwide phenomen, a repetitive one.

Is this your experience?"Some will, some won't ... as a country, Germany has gone to great lengths to recognize what happened, take responsibility, and to the extent possible, atone. We have seen very moving holocaust memorials and museums in Berlin.

Good luck with the presentation, my experience with Germans is that they are not to happy with this era too, of course depending where you are in Germany. In the part known as former East Germany there is a whole different mood and some other opinions.That said most of Europe is suffering the rising of Fascist ideas which mostly come from the notion that the elite does no longer invest in the working man but solely in their self interest. It has started to chafe again.
On a totally other note: When can we expect the next book?
I have written about 200 pages of the sequel to A FLOOD OF EVIL, but this is very much still a draft. It does not go quickly and I cannot hurry it. Thanks for your interest.

I'm almost 87 years old, and I, too, am very eager for book number 2. I understand and appreciate your meticulous research, Lew. So take your time....but hurry! Lloyd
