I think my mind worked on this as yours did, OY. I'm very happy that people have remembered that poor author, and remembered in an appropriate manner and venue as well. And it's so nice to hear the Pope (a former Hitler Youth, and until elected as pontiff, head of the Vatican organization which once was called the Inquisition) speak out against prejudice.
