'Daddy, did we Germans really do that?' Little voice from the back of the car
It was a late summer evening in 1990. I was visiting friends in Germany. We were driving to the home of my friend's mother.
He and I were talking about WWII and the Nazis. We had been discussing the horrors of the Holocaust for a while when suddenly we heard the voice of his young son from the back seat--- 'Daddy, did we Germans really do that?'
My friend was devastated. We had forgotten that his son might hear some of what we said.

June 22 1990---Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin dismantled!!
Impossible to believe that was 30 years ago!!
I was attending a 1 month seminar in Munich for teachers of German run by the U of Washington.
Late in the seminar we slent a few days in Berlin. It was absolutely wild!
The streets were packed with people, many from the former East Germany. People were still picking out pieces of the Wall. I tried but found the material way too hard. Ended up buying a bitty piece embedded in glass?plastic?. There were warnings to protect ourselves from the asbestos in the material that the Soviets had used to build the Wall when they started building it on August 13 1961
