    When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes【C2】______from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people—mostly women, children and old people【C3】______the final Red Army【C4】______into Nazi Germany—were【C5】______aboard.

    Now Germany’s Nobel Prize-winning author Gtinter Grass has【C13】______the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children【C14】______his latest novel Crab Walk, published last month.

The reason was obvious. As Grass【C17】______it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: "Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so【C18】______, we didn’t have the energy left to【C19】______our own【C20】______."
