When young I studied analytical articles and thoughtful histories that explained why Germany, a cultured, modern nation, had produced the Holocaust. What had made the German people capable of such staggering cruelty? What had made Germans different from everyone else? Apparently, severe German toilet-training practises were to blame. (I’m not making this up.)
This morning, 60 years later, Americans were ripping infants from the arms of their mothers and shoving the children into wire cages, where they sob and tremble with fear. The mother gets deported. We keep the kid. Someplace.
