When I visited Germany in 1998, our trip guide was a young person. This was the first place I realized that history was being erased there. They did not want anyone to talk about Daucau, Aushwitz. Basically wanted us to ignore the WW2 history. I went ugh ugh. And this young person said he had lots of student debt and could never afford a house in Germany. That is a stunner to Americans. To think you would never afford to buy a home. One of the last things he said when we left to go home, was he wanted to come to America and live the American Dream.
