European nations began World War I with a glamorous vision of war, only to be psychologically shattered by the realities of the trenches. The experience changed the way people referred to the glamour of battle; they treated it no longer as a positive quality but as a dangerous illusion.

Die europäischen Nationen begannen den Ersten Weltkrieg mit einer glamourösen Vision des Krieges, die jedoch von den Realitäten der Schützengräben psychisch erschüttert wurde. Diese Erfahrung veränderte die Art und Weise, wie die Menschen auf den Glamour der Schlacht Bezug nahmen. Sie behandelten es nicht mehr als positive Eigenschaft, sondern als gefährliche Illusion.

Some words having to do with the death of the people in the World Trade Center attack had been added, and when I got to it, I had this overwhelmingly emotional experience. I struggled to get through the words; tears were streaming down my cheeks.

When I went back to visit my native Berlin after World War II, I noticed that the only thing I really remembered from my childhood Berlin days is the shoe store.
