World War II Class

I am wrapping up a semester class on World War II. It has been an interesting class - I would have to say that I now know way more about the Holocaust, the Nuremberg Trials, the Bomb, the Nazi party, rivalries between Allied generals, D-Day, the North African campaign,.... then I ever thought I would want to know. It's been great. But a little stressful.

I have met some new amazing heroes. The term hero has been redefined for me, it is not about action but rather about motives. Heroes never act to aggrandize themselves, they only see the world as it is, and as it should be and then put themselves in between to do what they can.

To Diet Eman, John Bradley and the Marines at Iwo Jima, Raoul Wallenberg, the boys of the 101st, Steve's Uncle Sterling, the prosecution team at Nuremberg, to the thousands of men and women who retained their humanity despite the great length of the war ... Thank you. Thank you.
