I don't think we are complacent with ourselves.
The general approach is more about what we did wrong
and we never talked about what we did right
that's the bias.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace-Lorraine
This article is written in English by whoever felt free to do so.
It's not written by the French Ministry of Official Truths.
We don't have that kind of organization here.
and I think people would riot to be the first one to burn this place.
What do you have to support your claim
there was any exodus ?
Between 1671-1711 Anabaptist refugees came from Switzerland, notably from
Bern. Strasbourg became a main center of the early Anabaptist movement.
It's more an exodus into Alsace !!
