Just had a nice talk with Talya. Last night I went to see the movie, MAX: portrait of hitler as a young artist. I thought Noah Taylor was tremendous. Cusack was a bit miscast. But so what - I thought they had a great feel for Munich after WW1. Which I know nothing about.

I remember getting into Grosz and some of the other degenerate artists during my work on the substance of fire.



Who knew that it was going to happen? Did the folks know that the Holocaust was around the corner? Were Germans that complicit? Did people realize that they had helped allow the rise of a madman of pure evil?
