i am very fond of anniversaries...s'rry, i have to get back to this topic...all the more since by chance, yesterday in trendy Berlin-Mitte, i saw this man, writing "NEW LIES" on the posters hanging all over the place. I was with my son, the man told us in English with a strong German accent, that it was important that the children knew the truth, my son speaks good French, German, Estonian, but no English and even if he did, he would not have understood why it is such a lie, since his mother's country was indeed liberated by American troops. He would definitely not have understood why it is so new, since it all happened more than 60 years ago and today we are all living in Germany and happy to do so. Finally, he did not quite understand where the truth hides and i could not help him.
