Most of the time, history is written by the winners. I think instead that history books should be written from the perspective of real witnessings like yours. My grandfather was a known musician, in the north east of Italy, and he's been killed with a bullet on his head in an ambush by communist partisans right after the second war and you make me revive those stories whispered between my family members (these events have always been like a sort of taboo for my father). I felt like being immersed in the many contradictions of the xx century from a priviledged point of view.. thank you @erh.germany for this gem and thanks for your final thoughts about the family, the memory, the core of our society and also of our system of values.
