17. Yeah, I lived in Prague for a couple of years...

... back in the early nineties and was amazed to find skinhead graffiti which read "Cikani do plynu" (Gypsies to the gas). Skinheads would amble into local Czech bars and ask patrons whether they knew where any Gypsies were to be found and the patrons would freely tell them, knowing full well that, if the skinheads found any, they'd beat the crap out of them. It startled the hell out of me, I can tell you. I had always assumed that World War II had taught us all - and especially those European countries most directly involved - a permanent, indelible lesson. Guess I was wrong.
