Elser

I happened to look down and see this at Wilhelmstraße and An der Kolonnade on my way to the U-Bahn. I thought about talking with my Belarusian friend the other night and how she remarked that while in Belarus and Russia the war is only engaged with one day a year, on the anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War, and Stalinism is never discussed, in Germany the Nazizeit is continually addressed.

After some weeks ago seeing where he was held at Sachsenhausen I recently watched the film Elser.

Thinking about reading Slaughterhouse-Five as a teenager, and Vonnegut’s Billy Pilgrim becoming „unstuck in time“.
