In one of their songs, Fredericks, and Golgman Jones asked the question "What if I was born in 17 to Leidenstadt, would I have been better or worse than those people, if I was German? ". The answer we have it in this book through the experiment conducted by professor of history: we can not know. We can not realize a reality that we have not experienced, but the experience proves that the wrong side switch is up to a wire and that unfortunately is the case for a large majority. Ben Ross typed strong, very strong. First in carrying out his project which has taken a magnitude exceeding those expectations, but also by putting an end so as hard. The lesson proved painful for everyone, including him, overwhelmed by what he had set up. It's chilling and we understand why during the three years following the incident no one spoke more in this Californian high school. This lesson, Ben Ross and these students have shared and will remember for the rest of their lives, but there will always be others, we may to continue to say 'no, I will not have not follow the herd, that's not possible, I shall have no part, I should have seen, I would have known I would have understood. " This is what makes all the more afraid because even if we say it is important to remember to prevent history from repeating itself, it is clear from the book by saying that everything is fragile, that nothing is guaranteed and above all could possibly start. So let's be "vigilant that the" vile beast will not come back. '"
This book adapted to film and became a history textbook in Germany, should be read to all the students in addition to lessons on World War II.
