Heretics and Heroes: How Renaissance Artists and Reformation

Reference to Bloodborne, the night of the hunt being the setting of the game. The bounty hunter and highwayman are possible references to the player character, while the other two are references to some of the game's memorable enemies. When he is focused on the people of the Renaissance and Reformation we do get flashes of the biographical and historic analysis that is the good in Prof. Cahill. This is said with reservations. Martin Luther is necessarily a central figure of this period. Cahill shrugs off any possibility that the man had major psychological scaring from his upbringing. The historian would have you believe that the human child decides upon psychological attitudes, not based on what and how he is treated in the so called formative years, but by polling his contemporaries and rationalizing hurt against a standard deviation of normal levels of domestic violence. The diaries of Luther include descriptions of instances wherein the reformer had physical fights with the devil, ended when Martin tosses his feces at Satan. Cahill will only admit that Luther had constipation, and that only while under the physical constraints of safe keeping.This is a reference to the Chaos God Khorne from Warhammer 40k.

He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions.
