An article from the past – history in the making before WWII. Very interesting. I knew Hitler was doing many bad things before WWII started.

I ran across it doing some research on New Deal in Kentucky and it just leapt out at me.

It is definitely a piece of history that reminds us to watch out for those who try to control others.

Yes; that has never ended well yet, no matter where it was happening.

I just finished reading “Lilac Girls.” It was difficult to read (especially since I read before bedtime), but I made myself read it. It was an engrossing tale, even more so, as it was based on real people and events. These stories illustrate why it is so very important we study history. Thanks for your post.

Reading a book like this is how I really like to learn history. I also want to visit Caroline’s home, but I am getting ahead of myself. I hope you think the book is a powerful treasure as I do.

Betty, have you read Lost Roses? It features the next generation of the family. I haven’t read Lilac Girls yet.

I have not heard of “Lost Roses”, but I just requested it from my library. Thanks for the recommendation.

Scary to read even now. Hitler quietly slipped in.

It reminded me again of how apartheid in South Africa slipped in–one law change at a time. There are certain similar instances here as well.

It’s frightening how things can change little by little when we are not paying attention.

Yes, it is. It feels like an uphill battle, and that is a lot of what they count on to make us feel powerless.
