Maybe that would encourage more reading and attention to the libraries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-34135854612271300862016-04-18T21:37:56.164-06:002016-04-18T21:37:56.164-06:00Prashant: Thanks for the comment.

I look forward to reading your review of "Seduced by Hitler," as well as the book someday. It'd be interesting to know how ordinary German citizens lived with fear and out of choice under Nazi rule.
