I read "Into the Whirlwind." by Eliza Ginzburg years ago. Everybody should read it. It tells how insane Stalin and his kind were. They were cruel for the sake of being cruel and they were power mad. It was truly horrible. I rmemeber Eliza Ginzburg feeling wretched about having chastised her smaall son for having spilt a bottle of expensive Scent - or perfume, and how prisoners were punished by numbers - it did not matter at all whether one had done anything wrong, or anything at all - punishment came round because you happened to be in "prisoner cell block number ...." and so today you were to be showered with freezing cold water. Als, in spite of being so cruelly treated by the Stalin regime, people Eliza Ginzburg met in the trucks on her way to prison refused to admit that Stalin had anything to do with it! I remember the book very well indeed. Human beings had better learn to be more honest with themselves before it is too late, especially Jewish People.
