I shall tell a story about Germany that some may find offensive. But throughout this site, I have written what we have done, what we have seen, what we felt, and have incorporated the strongest of our impressions and memories into this work.
We had been invited to participate in the International Federation of Dentistry’s meeting to be held in Berlin. I did not want to go, as I continue to this day to be repulsed by the destruction of so many millions of people during the Nazi era. I know I should “get over it”, but so far, try as I have, I cannot.
In an effort to show our friends I truly was trying to put things behind me, I accepted the offer to go to the conference, and we flew to Berlin. We stayed in a spectacular hotel along the Kurfurstendamm, a hotel that was the model for all handicapped/accessible hotels to be built in Europe.
