Quoting: LoneStranger
hope in future the Germans learn to be more humble...
I can understand this, but we also have to remember that there was a number of
germans who also died helping many to escape, who didnt go along with hitlers
plans, and many who didnt say anything because of the fear of being shot.
my Grandmother in law and her whole family hated him, but to go against him was
dangerous, so we cant place everyone in a catagory of dislike, I really love my
grandmother in law, she knows I am full polish, we share same interests and thoughts
she loves me as I do her . I believe a great deal was manipulated and there was
no easy direction for them to take. he ruled (hitler) with more then Iron fist.
she also mentioned that much of what was going on was hidden from the people
so when they found out, they also had fear, because many germans were not
all german (mixed blood) with Polish and other nationalities.
I had mentioned in another forum about my feelings which I was surprised at
my own actions about this one lady who was german and I was taking care of her
I became angry with her, she told me she was german (could tell by accent she
was from another country) she started talking about hitler, how wonderful he
was, it was even more upsetting that she spoke of trinkets she had lost that were
so precious to her, this was what made me furious, but I kept reserve, I just asked
to not be in her room anymore, and that was fine with other staff, and the really
bad part was this is not my nature, but it was something I couldnt help.
I was not involved in any of it, some of my family (ones that I know) were, but it
did anger me non the less, and I do try to see the "other side" but I even
question my own anger sometimes.
so I think its because I felt she was more blinded by his Promises. and I should have
taken this into consideration when it happened, but at the time, I was more upset
and not thinking rationally.
