very well-written article, makes me want to read Radnoti's poetry (more of it, I mean – this is the first I've read). It's really sobering what's happening over there, in terms of neo-Nazi social movements. I saw it in Poland when I was last there as well. Very sad. I would think that memories would be longer, but it seems violence just leaves seeds for more violence of the same kind. I think it breeds a kind of fear that makes everyone scramble to put someone else beneath them on the racial hierarchy…as if that would keep them safe.
