Hi all, I can't believe we are over halfway mark in January. With all the snow, cold, and inclement weather I have been spending a great deal of time inside. After watching the series premiere of Sherlock I decided to watch again a few other British mystery series, one, being Foyle's war. I watched "The German Woman," the first in the series the other day. Christopher Foyle is Detective Chief Superintendent and is trying to become more involved in the war effort convinced that what he was currently doing was not good enough. Foyle goes on to find out that keeping of law even during a time of war is also important. For as he replies to his driver Sam's question of why should the death of a German woman matter as they were at war with Germany, ". Murder is murder. You stop believing that, and we might as well not be fighting the war... because you end up like the Nazis". Another episode showcases the antisemitism and pro-Nazi sentiment found in some of the British people. Sadly antisemitism can still be found today around the world.
Have a good day, Nina
