All textbooks from the Nazi era had been removed; new ones not yet published. Students recorded lectures on history, geography and even the sciences and lab work with pencil-on-paper (no pens available then). Hours of laborious transcribing, mapping and redrawing followed in the evening as part of our nightly homework. <br />As a result, I believe, my love of biology, chemistry and geography remains firmly in my memory. An equally pronounced dislike of history with its endless dates and names of wars and kings continues to this day as well. <br />Should I call that learning? I don’t know. What I do know is that it has allowed me to form an early interest and that in turn has led to continued learning and delight in these now ever-expanding new areas of knowledge.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002034412151764344noreply@blogger.com
