 | | Gunter Grass's Crabwalk | | by Nearly Anonymous, May 17, 2008 | | Günter Grass’s Crabwalk reflects upon the question of German victimhood from a new angle. He directs our attention away from well-rehearsed arguments about the firebombing of German cities and instead considers the loss of an estimated nine thousand lives in the sinking of the German refugee ship Wilhelm Gustloff. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |

 | | The Rape of Nanking | | by inheritance, May 11, 2008 | | This is my take on the book "The Rape of Nanking" by Iris Chang. It gives brief summaries of the topics covered by the author in the book and is very informative of one the worst massacres to ever occur in history. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
