Today, my seminars discussed the Holocaust. Alongside the fantastic readings and lectures, I provided a short clip from Shoah (1985) and these were their associations.

What’s to say about the man that hasnt been said before? He was a warmonger responsible for carpet bombing of Cambodia, evaded Watergate and leeched onto every US president since.
Good riddance and happier days.
