...reluctantly, grimly and without elation, faced with an evil as obvious and inarguable as evil can ever be. Even scrupulous moralists agree that World War II was the closest thing to a just war in modern times. And yet, in retrospect, the means were horrifying. The saturation bombings of Hamburg, Dresden and Berlin were designed primarily to kill and demoralize civilians. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified as taking fewer Japanese and American lives than would have been lost in an invasion. But the fact remains that the bombing of Germany and Japan obliterated the discrimination...

One of the sailors told Ernst that he had some art works to sell, claimed they would be confiscated on his return to Germany, and asked $10,000 for them.

Mosaic does not try to put together the puzzle of the past; it successfully attempts to put a few more pieces in place...
...sold to Russia, often at prices 30% below the world market. But East Germany has also built up its own fleet. Today, its black, red and yellow flag flies over 155 ships. VEB vessels last year carried 6,200,000 tons of cargo to 340 ports, ranging from nearby Hamburg to faraway Haiphong, while two 600-passenger cruise ships carried vacationers to Scandinavia, Scotland and Iceland...
