    I feel like such a chud. Like every one else at the time, we celebrated unification and the Berlin wall coming down.

    Looking back, I realize we were fed a constant stream of anti-communist propaganda. It was everywhere. TV, movies, video games, comics, news, etc.

    If I’d known an inkling of the truth, I would have thought much differently.

          okay, come to think of it, it’s not that hard to explain. my dad was raised partly by his granddad who was a minor noble with some considerable land before communism. my mom’s parents were communists before the war, but they were sidelined by the kadar govt for being too high up in the rakosi govt.
