Diary entry 1 One of the things that I had to do in the Hitler Youth was burn books. I did not even want to burn the books‚ but I had to if I didn’t want to blow my cover.

It is a fairly new restaurant‚ one my wife and I had been wanting to try ever since it was first being built. Last year‚ we had a chance to try it for lunch. We went there with our two-year-old son. Initial impressions were positive. The restaurant looked like a neat place to eat. The décor seemed to follow a kind of hip-retro rock-n-roll kind of theme‚ and there was even an old Moto
