I started this blog with a few posts on a Nazi eagle on a motorway bridge near Salzburg, with just the swastika taken out after the end of the Nazi regime, and its late disappearance.
A comment by mistereggz followed, likening the disappearance of remains to the dying of witnesses and survivors, and to the fading away of memory as a whole.
Here we go … It may have been one of those people who wants the Nazis back, or the formerly oft-cited 'strong man to bring back some order to those degenerate democracies' in Europe. It won't go away as it seems; bringing back the hurt to the sensible and sensitive ones. And it reminds us that dark history has not ended with the liberation from the Nazis.
hello dear
ReplyDeletei am very happy to finally find a blog about salzburg. i've been there few years ago and i was amazed by the beauty of the place and i was wondering if its easy for a foreigner to settle there. I am french (african) and i was wondering how the local react when you have some outsider who want to come and live there for a little while.
hopefully you will be able to answer to my question.
thanks
