_“I learned then that he had been a member of the Nazi Party,” he says, referring to what he found in one of his father’s desk drawers. “I knew he was in Riga [Latvia]. Also that he was a judge at the Regional Court. But my father didn’t tell me what he did in Riga during World War II. That’s what they always say; that fathers didn’t talk to their children.”_

The Daily Mail went all-out for the 1906 general election, illuminating London's skyline with searchlights which spelled out election returns in morse code, and colour-coded rockets to tell watchers which party had won a seat.

The election lasted two weeks; I expect people were a bit tired of it by the end.
