But I don’t know… Relying on other people take away a lot of the experience.

I had to rely too every month on trips to buy food and I didn’t like at all that I couldn’t be self sufficient. But at least it was my money.

Plus, the fear. Just going into town one a month was terrible. I can’t imagine him going to the camps 40 times a year. He mentions how much of a toll it took on him and I can imagine. But doing it that often? That’s a massive will to survive. I would give up. I can take what nature throws at me, but humans are unpredictable and dangerous. It would be just constant suffering and anxiety.

That’s so cool. He did what I wanted to do. But mine only lasted 4 months before I was found.

I can clearly understand his fear of attracting attention. And the pleasures of solitude…

And I understand why he didn’t run again. Once you’re found, the dream is kind of shattered. The feeling of safety is gone… But his lasted a life time.

The night when he went to a house where there was someone there must have traumatised him for weeks. Or it would have done that to me at least.

I never thought of stealing. I don’t know if I could do that.

The regime lost. They went into hiding or ran away. It’s not necessary for every single person related to a group to be killed for it to lose.

The soviet union lost. Nazis lost. The Ottoman empire lost. England, Spain, Portugal didn’t lose to an enemy but their empires died. One group is always thought as evil in western education, the other is not.

The united states need to be properly defeated for the next winners to see the American atrocities in a proper light.

But I would be already happy with just their empire fading away and only lies remaining in school books.

Yup. People forget that whatever the Nazis did, we only see them in a bad way is because they lost. Their enemies are making the movies and TV series we consume to this day.

Unless an actual enemy of the us defeats them, they will never be seen as villains. Even if they lose a lot of power but one of their allies takes over.

England committed countless atrocities and while that is known, they are not seen as villains. They are not in power anymore but their ally is. Even Israel can be a thousand times worse than Nazis, as long as they remain in the winning group they will be forever the poor victim of antisemitism defending itself against evil.
