I
don't often recommend a book, but I have to suggest you read "The Lost
Wife" by Alyson Richman. It's based on true stories of the Jewish
people during WW II, and is horrifically candid. The main female
character is an artist, and much of the story involves what artists did
in WW II, just as they have done in all cultures since the beginning:
recording the truth visually. Admittedly, I have been interested in
what Hitler did in Europe since I was a teenager, because much of the
carnage occurred during the early 40s, when i was born. Perhaps this
interest is why I can correlate much of what is happening in our country
today with that time, and it terrifies me - as it should you.
