We listened to Kurt Vonnegut and Mr. Potratz reading from Slaughterhouse Five. Then we looked at a reproduction of Picasso's "Guernica" to introduce a discussion of the bombings of civilians in 20th century warfare. We pooled what we knew about "the Blitz," the notorious German bombing of London and other English cities, and we read and deciphered a handing from a book called Bombing Vindicated (1945) by a high official of the British Air Ministry.
