Downfall

I was exited at the prospect of going hiking in Utah as the mountains are SOO beautiful. However, due to inclement weather the hike planned was postponed and the Wright Boys invited Ruth and I to go and watch a film from the BYU international cinema series. All films shown at BYU are edited for content and language so that they can maintain the required standards. The film of choice was "Downfall" which depicts the last weeks of the reign of Hitler and the downfall of Nazi Germany. I have read many articles and watched many documentaries on this subject, however, nothing prepared me for the accurate portrayal of some of the facts. One wonders how people can be so consumed in their end goal that they completely forget what is reality and what is not. It was a sobering end to a productive day.
