PATRIOT ACT
Ori Alon
Digging through a large stamp collection I purchased in an estate sale, I came across a familiar face. At first, I was perplexed, frozen. I feared that touching, not to mention licking an actual object of the Nazi evil machine will somehow affect me, that a stamp can be contagious. Having created Philatelic Meditations, a comic strip of dialogues between Abe Lincoln and Jimi Hendrix stamps, I made sure that the Hitler stamp I found properly apologize, convert to Judaism and join the Israeli extreme Right. But as Hitler & Me series was done, many more world leaders came to me and demanded to join the conversation, and with a few exceptions I agreed. I hope that you'll enjoy such patriotism. Ori Alon

Only forty years after the war the US took limited responsibility for the act.
