Abstract: Abstract I was born shortly after the end of World War IIWorld War II, in 1949, in the BritishBritish occupied zone of West GermanyWest Germany. My parents were both refugees, endangered at or forcibly expelled from their original homes in SovietSoviet-occupied East GermanyEast Germany. As countless others of my generation, then, I was raised by a generation of parents and teachers who had just experienced some horrific military defeat and were then subjected to harsh and often brutal treatment by hostile foreign occupiers. Humiliated, abused, and intimidated, then, the generation of my parents kept largely quiet and obediently went with the “flow” as increasingly dictated in the West by the USUnited States. Hence, the “education” of my generation was to a large extent the result of Anglo-AmericanAnglo-American propaganda and indoctrination. Every fad or fashion over there, in the lands of the victors, cultural or intellectual, was immediately imported and eagerly adopted by my generation.
