I read Landscape and Memory -- or I should say, I turned the pages of the book one at a time and at approximately the pace one would expect a reader to be moving -- but I hardly remember anything of it.<BR/><BR/>However, the birches of Kiefer suddenly resonated with me -- Buchenwald, of course. And with that, some of Schama's comments came back.<BR/><BR/>The part of Schama that I remember best was his ride to the cemetary in Poland and how various memorials and cemetaries commented on one another. I need to look that up again because it was what kept me reading through the rest of the book.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
