Recording history is such an important job. Good on you for your efforts.
I took several history classes when I went back to college. One of my favorites was Totalitarian Art (mainly focused on the art, social and political history of Europe during the 20th century: Italy, Germany, Soviet Union.) I wrote a paper on Charlie Chaplin, who had made the film "The Great Dictator" during the late 1930's. If you haven't seen it, it really is worth seeing. (It is a very clever film mocking Hitler and Mussolini.)
Charlie Chaplin was appalled about what was happening in the hands of the fascist dictators and equally appalled about how it was being allowed to happen. When he starting making the film the US and England were opposed to it and he couldn't get funding in Hollywood because of the close financial ties to Nazi Germany. So he funded, produced, created, and acted in the film himself. Around the time The Great Dictator was completed, England had joined World War II and the film was a great hit in England and the US where it now had tremendous support.
I greatly admire Charlie Chaplin for making such a strong stand, even though it was unpopular at the time. (He was also a true genius.) Pity he was given such a tough time during the McCarthy era and had to flee the US.
Despite all, he hummed his own tune, Smile, much later when he was allowed to come back to the US to receive an Oscar.
I cannot say how utterly thankful I am for the wonderful folks at EFF, as well as so many others, who make the internet available to even the oppressed. It is changing, and will continue to greatly change the world. Exciting times.
I'm glad a few of my old posts were helpful.
Heh!
Much moreso than I would be, under similar circumstances. Good for you!
