Welcome

Hi.

Welcome to everynazineedsayacht blog.

Back in the 90s a dear friend of mine with considerable more knowledge about the people in my life than I seemed to have confronted me with two truths. 1. I was not related to the people that I thought were my family. 2. They were escaped nazis.

I believe the truth has a certain resonance that regardless of how heinous, inconvenient, unwelcome, or unbelievable, it still rings true.

Let me be honest here, it is kind of hard to say I was truly shocked. I think the shock I felt that day was that the denial worn so often by so many parts of my personality would no longer work for me. I mean, it is kind of difficult to deny any knowledge of the facts my friend presented to me when I had seen (and threatened to let others see) an 8x10 black and white picture of my Grandfather's wife, left profile, black SS Uniform, swastika arm band and that mesmerized look.

You may have heard of her. Her name is Nancy Reagan.

It gets better.
