“My son was poor in spelling, so I went in to talk to his teacher. She told me she wasn’t marking his spelling mistakes because it would give him a poor self-image! I ask you, how is a student supposed to correct his errors if they aren’t pointed out to him?” “My child’s class went out skating three times this week. Then [...]
O dear, it’s really getting boring! After seventy-four years in this world, it is only in the last two that I have seen the inside of a courtroom. I have stood before a judge as a “defendant,” almost a dozen times, and most recently, on January 21st of this year.

By Nazi standards Grandpas life was already devoid of value: he [...]
