Confronting a Holocaust past
Feb. 10, 2009 Leave a Comment
There is no doubt that Nazi Germany was a haunting place to live in the wake of the Holocaust. Bernhard Schlink addressed these hardships in his 1995 novel “The Reader” and through lectures in Boston last week. “The Reader” personalizes the Holocaust by illustrating the turmoil of a man who is in love with a [...]

One game we didn’t see much of at E3 was Atari’s Heroes over Europe, the WWII flying combat simulation sequel to Heroes of the Pacific, which was a very strong PC and PlayStation 2 title in its own right.
