And Hollywood doesn't tell us that genocide was a "step" by "step" process too. It took *nine* yrs after the first camps opened, for the Nazis to agree to commit genocide, in 1942 www.deutschland.de/en/topic/kno... (9/21)
Remember and explain
The House of the Wannsee Conference is now a memorial and educational site. Eighty years ago, the National Socialists planned the murder of European Jews here.

Yet, what few of us *feel* is how it happened piece by piece-not all at once. We don't know that "out of sight" for most Berliners meant "out of mind." They didn't find out what was being done in their name until 1946 or *later* (for some it took until 1961's Eichmann trial)... almost 30 yrs. (8/21)

Every day, walking through this legal "dribble drabble" signage, I realize such piecemeal laws are rarely the focus of dramatic Hollywood Holocaust films. Yet the signs make concrete that everyday people turned away to "get on with their lives," while Nazis renditioned their neighbors. (6/21)
