What is your favorite part of history to read/learn about?
I like all history. For a long time I was fascinated with Ancient Greek history. I have also been very interested in Civil War history. I have visited several battlefields. I also enjoy the antebellum period & have visited most of the antebellum houses with tours in both Louisiana & Mississippi. Lately, my husband & I have been watching a lot of tv & Netflix documentaries on Nazi Germany. I have mentioned before that I believe in reincarnation & I am quite sure my last life was as a victim of the Holocaust. The documentaries give me a vivid sense of déjà vu & are sometimes quite painful for me to watch. The loss of life in WWII is almost incomprehensible.
It's kind of interesting to me how several of you are into the 60's. I lived through them. It was definitely an exciting time to be coming of age. I was always very interested in current events, even as a child & teenager. I was very aware of everything happening. I graduated high school in 1969 in the middle of Viet Nam. I attended a funeral of a good friend killed in battle the week of my graduation. Looking back, it was quite a decade to grow up in.
