I feel like my political and social ideals were a direct result of the stories Ive heard from you

I hope you ended up as one of the good guys after that.
All jokes aside, I also remember a holocaust survivor visiting my school. That was in the 90s when we started to have a problem with neo-nazis in Sweden. All school children in Sweden got a book called "Om detta må ni berätta" from the government, crudely Google translated to "You must tell us about this".
That book, and the speeches survivors told school children, all over the country must have put a big lid on the neo-nazi tendencies that were starting to blossom/brewing at that point in time. I don't live in Sweden now, I know they got issues, but it isn't what we started to see in the 90s, which I am very happy about.

To Mr. Lesser (perhaps not so much a question as a comment): Something I have read about a lot lately in history books are the death marches, we didn't get to know much about them in school. But they were truly horrific, and really on par with some of the concentration camp stories that we are being told and read about. If anyone is not believing me, please read the book The End by Sir Ian Kershaw.

I think Germany (and perhaps Japan) is one of the last countries to use fax in daily business. :)

Why even support this country with the attention you give them by reporting an event like this? Is it your news station that lack morale and integrity and force you, or is it yourself and by your own discretion you do this?

It caught me a bit off-guard 10 or so years ago when I had to troubleshoot some software supporting fax features. I was like "who the hell still use fax nowadays?!", apparently germans. It isn't as prevalent in Sweden but sometimes it is used for legal binding documents, although not usually the preferred method. Must be closer to 25 years ago I used a physical fax machine.

You should really get into opiates before it is too late (too late as in building up resistance to them and not get the buzz) since you do not have to suffer any consequences from withdrawal.
