Lessons from History Textbooks, Part I

[x_los]

If you were a musician, writer, or actor in 1933 Germany, there is a 96% chance you were 'Visiting ________' when it came time to Surprise!Arrest you. Was it just the done thing for German cultural figures to never actually be in Germany, or were you in California because Berlin way scary and you knew it? Why does the book always discover the person being out of the country at the time like a big surprise? It turns out there was ONLY Thomas Mann to get harassed for all of ten minuites before he casusally decided to "Visit France... and, um, never come back." Book, you engenue you.

If, however, your _____ destination of choice was Austria... you're not v. bright, and this course of action ends up looking like a waste of gas.


wow, that pun wasn't intended...but that so stays
