ONE YEAR LATER: 07.23.11 – Exactly a year later, and today a young man of identical background and beliefs to my Berlin Hairdresser murders nearly one hundred people in Norway in the name of far-right hate. Exactly to the day. A year ago, there were only a few people who had any patience with my experience at the hair salon – mostly, I was met with barely-hidden disbelief, skepticism, and then hostility. Not by Germans, but by Americans who were unwilling to believe that hate in Europe isn’t restricted to a few fringe thugs and illiterate skinheads from the lower classes.
