#35 The Sun also Shines [PART3. Spain] ep.XIX "Enemy's Enemy is Our Side isn't Their Side"
I made a visit to an exhibition of Auschwitz near my place as a part of class. A professor comes along with us, the only thing he did was paying entrance fee for us but never talkings. We, students were free to see around.
It's all about Nazis' historical genocide, and it was chilly inside as I expected. Stuffs or replications of things used in at that time were there with explanations in Both Spanish and English.
It was also interesting to see some German documents. Particulary I was interested in newpaper. It's published from the point of view of the US, and one of the articles was written in a half palm sized about fires over Japan. The article is bravely saying that how many the US airforce got down and how long Japan will last.
While in Japan, "we" is always Japanese.
Sometimes veterans from the US army get interviewed about dropping the nuclear bombs though, seeing battles and fires of, let's say, "daily war" described from the other side was for the first time to be honest. An explanation of this newspaper isn't touching any of this article about the war between two third countries fighting over far east island.
Although when the world is facing the same issue, if you are in a different position or place, it's different what you see, you want to show, you need to see.
It made me realize again that I'm in a country far from home.
