This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I personally learnt about them first in third grade in school. In "history" we visited local landmarks and statues in our village, and out teacher told us the history behind them. There was a memorial for ww1 and ww2 soliders as well as a Holocaust memorial nearby, so he told us about that. But I sure knew about nazis before then. Just not from school.
