Maybe you guys wanna share with us a moment in the European history that you consider worth remembering...
I would say... the second world war... for the characteristics of human nature it revealed... so much cruelty and goodness at the same time... all that suffering and all that mutual help... |

| Visiting the Hiroshima Peace Park/Atomic Bob Dome & museum several years back, I was surrounded by Japanese as we watched the video of the Enola Gay dropping the bomb on Hiroshima. I couldn't help but crying as I felt so terribly sorry for what my father's generation in my country did to these poor people. The skeletal remains of what once was a bank in the center of Hiroshima, is quite haunting as well... |
