Wolfgang, I'll join the rest who have expressed appreciation that you decided in favor of hitting the submit button. And, also as others have expressed here, this thread is a prime example of the most worthwhile effects of the "cyber world".

Of the parallels in experience I might think of as an American born in our midwest in 1942, one detail stands out for me personally: I had to have been at least 30 years old before I heard word one about the internment of Americans of Japanese descent during WWII. I was deeply jolted, and grieved, when I finally learned about it. If the source had not been plainly credible, I don't know that I could have immediately accepted it as true. It just wasn't something that could have happened in "my America".
