Thank you for the beautiful remembrance, Gene, and the exceptional history of your own family. However, I would take issue with blaming the Europeans for the apocalyptic wars. It was the Germans both times, the Germans who murdered your father in law, the Germans who exterminated my father's entire extended Dutch family, scores of people, my four great grandparents well into their nineties, shipped off in cattle cars to be murdered in the camps in 1942.
