She said Many American doctors to an institution where the trained at the University State Health Department would teach them a trade, and to read and write. The families were required to sign papers with a little clause that they could not visit for 6 months. They were told visits would interfere with the program and might cause homesickness. As time passed, letters started to dribble back saying these people died a natural, merciful death. The villagers were not fooled. We suspected what was happening. Those people left in excellent physical health and all died within 6 months. We called this euthanasia. The Final Steps Gun Laws: Next came gun registration.. People were getting injured by guns. Hitler said that the real way to catch criminals (we still had a few) was by matching serial numbers on guns. Most citizens were law abiding and dutifully marched to the police station to register their firearms. Not long afterwards, the police said that it was best for everyone to turn in their guns. The authorities already knew who had them, so it was futile not to comply voluntarily. No more freedom of speech. Anyone who said something against the government was taken away. We knew many people who were arrested, not only Jews, but also priests and ministers who spoke up. Totalitarianism didn't come quickly, it took 5 years from 1938 until 1943, to realize full dictatorship in Austria . Had it happened overnight, my countrymen would have fought to the last breath. Instead, we had creeping gradualism. Now, our only weapons were broom handles. The whole idea sounds almost unbelievable that the state, little by little eroded our freedom. After World War II, Russian troops occupied Austria . Women were raped, preteen to elderly. The press never wrote about this either. When the Soviets left in 1955, they took everything that they could, dismantling whole factories in the process. They sawed down whole orchards of fruit, and what they couldn't destroy, they burned. We called it The Burned Earth. Most of the population barricaded themselves in their houses. Women hid in their cellars for 6 weeks as the troops mobilized. Those who couldn't, paid the price. There is a monument in Vienna today, dedicated to those women who were massacred by the Russians. This is an eye witness account.

BE A HERO Years ago when a person wanted to teach their kids to fish, they cut a switch off a tree, tied a string and hook on the end, and away they went. if you want to take the kids fishing, you can still do It that way. But modem equipment will make it easier on the kids and you. The key to making sure kids enjoy fishing is to keep them busy catching fish. Kids don't care how big the fish are or even what kind they are. They are more focused on getting a fish to bite and winding It in. Panfish are the ideal fish for kids. They are also prolific and are aggressive feeders. And, since they are frequently found near easy to reach banks, they are perfect for the youngster looking for action. Remember, fishing is not only good therapy for adults, it's a good family sport that allows parents to spend quality time with the kids. Want to be a hero? Take the kids panfishing.
