Does anyone else get an icky feeling from looking at cartoons from a late-1940s German newspaper? Entertainment for people of a country that only 5 years ago at the time was ushering millions into forced labor and gas chambers.
- ljf 11y agoHow do you feel reading the papers today?

- ant6n 11y agoThe difference is that post-war Germany was very much confronted with the gravity of what Nazi-Germany had done. The US hasn't had that in more than 100 years.
