My best friend was German. When my son was about 5 we went out to the
west coast to visit my friend and his family. My son has seen an Indiana
Jones movie and was fascinated by Nazis and talked abut them all the
time and was doing so on the way to visit my friends parents, who were
like second parents to me. I told my son not to talk about Nazis when
were we visiting because my friends has lived through the Nazi experience.

He almost managed to make it through the afternoon without talking about
Nazis... almost. He suddenly blurted out that he wished he could have
met Hitler. My friend's mother said "I met Hitler". My son's jaw
dropped and he asked her what he was like. She said "He was a stupid man
and he ruined my country."
