我的一位德国朋友在纳粹罪行博物馆工作。他看上去就像一位蝴蝶收藏家,性情十分温和。我问他:“为什么会将一生奉献给这个可怕的主题?”他说:“我必须这么做。我的祖父是纳粹。我的姑姥姥是资深纳粹。这是属于我的主题。”他继续说,许多来博物馆及其档案馆参观的人都是像他这样的德国人。他们总觉得祖父做了坏事,但从来不敢问,他们的父母也什么都不跟他们说。最后,这些人来到我朋友的档案馆,说出祖父的名字,询问相关信息。我朋友一般都会将可怕的事实如实相告。“但通常他们好像已经有所了解,”他告诉我。 One of my German friends works at the Nazi Crime Museum. He looks like a butterfly collector, temperament is very gentle. I asked him: “Why dedicate my whole life to this awesome subject?” He said: “I have to do this. My grandfather is a Nazis. My grandmother is a senior Nazi. This is my theme. ”He went on to say that many of the people who visited the museum and its archives were Germans like him. They always felt that his grandfather had done a bad thing, but never dared to ask, nor did their parents say to them. Finally, these people come to my friend’s archives, say their grandfather’s name and ask for information. My friends generally tell the horrible facts truthfully. “But usually they seem to have some understanding, ” he told me.
