My father would have been 100 in 10 days

What brought him to mind this time is the fact that his ancient nemesis, the Nazis, is now deemed a legitimate topic of mainstream discussion. Growing up, it was unquestioned that the Nazis were bad and not worthy of discussion unless you wanted to discuss WW2 history or something else related. Now, a freaking video game has been attacked by trolls and Nazis.

My father, I think, would have been completely horrified to see this. Then again, I think Trump would have horrified my father also.

RIP Dad. I loved you and would have been delighted to know you better.
