Den Opfern der Kriege
1914 bis 1918 + 1939 bis 1945
und der Gewaltherrschaft
1933 bis 1945
These inscriptions strike me sometimes as perverse. What I’ve been noticing in addition, and more interestingly, is that the dates 1933 and 1945 which were so blindingly obvious and made so much sense the majority of my life have in the last couple years diminished in significance.
