            I have to agree with Lindsey on this one.  I was very confused and turned off by that section in the book.  Knowing the around the 1940s and 50s China was a safe haven for Jews, it was weird to hear that the Chinese thought he was such a great leader.  At the same time, there have been many people in history that do say Hitler was a great leader and that is true.  Even though he was a disgusting, psycho killer, he convinced thousands of Nazis to kill.  He led the people though a tragic time in history.  I think it is hard for Peter, and anyone else for that matter, to understand that managed to kill that many people using brainwashed humans.  Maybe the Chinese admire that because of their communist ways.  Either way, this part of the book was very strange and I didn’t particularly enjoy it, even though I learned about more history.  I also took from the reading that other religions are not taken as seriously.  In the part of the book mentioning the little Priest, Father Li, it didn’t seem like they cared too much what he was doing.  I think this may have also been why the Chinese didn’t mind Hitler.  It didn’t affect them so why would they care?  Even though that is wrong, that is what they are told to do.
