'But there were gaps in our education: we didn't learn that tens of thousands of Germans had been killed for resisting the Nazi regime (because it would
have made our grandparents who didn't resist look guiltier in comparison?), or that 150,000 men of Jewish descent had fought in the WEHRMACHT (because their participation would have made us feel less quilty?); we learned little about the losses endured during the Allied bombings, or about the millions of Germans who had been displaced from Germany's former eastern regions after 1945 (because we knew that feeling sorry for ourselves was wrong?).'

Bloody awesome book. The illustrations were so cool, this is the type of book that if I was to write one, that I would do. I love to journal, and put in pictures and draw things, so this was right up my alley. Story was so interesting and I feel that there is still so much to explore. I wish that the author keeps making more books like this: was just a treasure. So glad I picked it up.
