Remembering a good man, a good friend and Hometown neighbor on his birthday.
In my youth, I was blessed to participate in conversations with Mr. Hamann regarding his youth in Nazi Germany. He spoke of the mandated membership in the Hitler Youth. He spoke of the mandated "look, listen AND report" to authorities. He spoke of all of those in authority who were just following orders.
It saddens me that our youth of today do not have the benefit of listening to his experiences.
