Not sure about a Swedish translation, although according to Goodreads, it has been translated into a multitude of other languages!Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-2116570919822046082020-03-01T08:45:19.359+11:002020-03-01T08:45:19.359+11:00Sadly, Australia is certainly no leading light on ...Sadly, Australia is certainly no leading light on the topic of dealing with, remembering or honouring our past. I have to admire the Germans for trying to make sense of what happened during the war, how they let it happen etc. It hasn't been a perfect process, but they've tried.

I think I will suggest it for my book club, if it is translated into Swedish. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Collective guilt is an interesting topic whether it be about past genocide or slavery or crimes of the state etc. How do people deal with the history of their home countries?

The Berlin Wall fell down next door and I was all "Wow! History is happening!" and I'm not at all sure that any of the other teens in my class had any inkling -- which I only barely did. Indeed history has probably never been a favorite subject, at least since the invention of TV?Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-16946940787408582652020-01-09T02:05:07.637+11:002020-01-09T02:05:07.637+11:00Some really thoughtful commentary Brona, thanks fo...Some really thoughtful commentary Brona, thanks for sharing your thoughts.shelleyrae @ book'd outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888977858862922561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-67080160486627626102020-01-08T09:58:12.929+11:002020-01-08T09:58:12.929+11:00No, as a student of history, these days are not co...No, as a student of history, these days are not comforting at all!<br />And you reminded me that, back when I was at school and uni, studying history, I was thought to be a bit of an odd-bod.

I'm happy to say that I know a few Gen Z kids who are interested in history...but it is so very rare, and yet the more history I read the more I see our current issues reflected back to me. It's never very comforting, either.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.com
