Kaposvar, Hungary - 1939-1943
It seems a bit inappropriate to me that Dr. Biczo has a "harem" of young girls... Instead of spending their time with other girls their age and, heaven forbid, their FRIENDS, this group of girls gathers at every break to talk in his office about different subjects, then carry his books to the next class. Why can't he carry his own books? Or even get a backpack? Perhaps a cart...
Speaking of carts... How can an entire society believe "rumors" like that to be made up? I had just heard about the girls being carted off before I finished the chapter, and I almost didn't believe it. Maybe that was the optimist (meh) in me... I guess I was wrong on that one. Very wrong.

- i'm really diggin the pictures.. but i wish they werent all clotted on the same pages. i wish they were stick in where they would be most relevant in the text.
- as i recall from the beginning of the book, biczó was quite the bachelor. i suppose that could have gone to his head and he thought he was really besoting quite the honor to judith.
-i dunno. i kinda like the idea of chillin out with a bunch of intellectuals discussing things. heck, look at our lunch times! its a little more.. err... adolescent in our case. but nonetheless, that could be fun.
- i wonder why politics were so off-limits. they were an elite group.. surely they werent off-limits because it couldnt be handled?
-wow. auburn. this is a really good book for us to be reading, because its so closely related to us.
- i suppose its easy to discredit those sorts fo things because you really dont want to believe them. denial.
