reality of berlin

Yesterday Ben, Chad and I went to the Memorial for the Murdered Jews in Europe. It´s a neat place to walk around in. We decided to actually check out the information center.
That shit is so fucked up.
I think that fucked up is the best way to describe it.
We study the world wars, and watch the movies, and it never seems too real. But it´s real. It was so real. So evil. Cruel history faces me everytime I step out the door. The whole area around our apartment was bombed to nothing. And how people could get together and try to wipe entire races of people. Who stands there and pulls the trigger on babies and grannies and pretty yound girls? How do you do that?
This whole business makes me aware of how irresponsible I am when it comes to world issues. If it could happen 60 years ago, it could happen again....for sure.
So weird.
