Kimberly, I think your points are sound and compelling. And in complete candor, yours is a fascinating family history.
Your comments enrich the list, beyond the usual "where are keys made", "where are photos made", maid, driver, etc. that we fell into years ago. The expat list, well... it's like an old relationship, you wake up one day and realize that, hey, we really used to talk... ten years ago. The issue where you and I will not find common ground is that to me, jokes about feeding at Auschwitz are not a matter of taste. They are a desecration. Coming from Maxim, an amazing one, as it is just utterly gratuitous to their business model. Whether Maxim is an otherwise fine magazine, is not an issue. They do need to be consequenced. If you believe that this can be done effectively through a letter to the editor, his email is [email protected], Mr. Alexander Malenkov. By the by... no it's not a private email, it's published in the magazine. What do you want to bet, that your letter will never be acknowledged, responded to or much less see the light of day in Maxim? Incidentally, had I not thought that it is a decent magazine, I wouldn't have spent $3.50 to read it.
