The writer son
Sanna describes how when her brother Algin, first became a successful author, their father was extremely proud of him. He bragged to neighbors and had his framed photograph hanging in his shop. Once the Nazi party came to rule, and all the books and writing, aside from those coinciding with the Nazi ideology, were forbidden, his father became ashamed of his son and regretful of his education, and hanged the photograph of Führer instead of his son. His father's opinion of good writing and banned books suddenly changed an adaptable individual indeed.
Believing in having read a book
Sanna remembers an interesting remark of Heine about books. He commented on people who buy or borrow books. He believes that most people don't really read those books they buy or borrow. But, instead, they become familiar with the book, form opinions of it without having read it. He compares this to the Führer, and his ideology that German people form opinions on, believe they know what it's about without actually stopping to dig deeper and explore, to actually know the true meaning behind it.
