After the Holocaust
“It is impossible to tell the story of Auschwitz. Our head refuses. We can’t even conceive of the death of a child or understand what it means, so how could we conceive of the death of millions of people?” After The Holocaust
“When you hear that story, when you read it, you sometimes think, even I sometimes think, it’s unthinkable.” Historian
“Jews who survived were left with nothingness. The world they came from disappeared. Thousands were left rootless and set out in search of a home.” After The Holocaust
Therefore when people find themselves so hard on Israel as a community and a nation remember Israelis are a community of genocide survivors which were few in comparison to the millions murdered by Hitler’s ruthless regime. It should go without saying to have some compassion and cease being so petty because truth is those who are quite quick to despise without question couldn’t have walked a mile in the shoes of the people who survived or their descendants, couldn’t even imagine what it was like, the struggles they still face today, that’s just actuality.
Why do the hateful hate? Some say ignorance, some stupidity, some evil. Some based on preconceived biases picked up along the way in life, some it is merely a wickedness in them that they’ve acquired a superiority complex of again “Lives unworthy of life.” People human beings deemed unworthy of freedoms, life, or beliefs. That is what true hatefuls of any persons really believe.
An eye opening documentary with footage of the time on the atrocities of the Holocaust, finally the seeking of justice during the Nuremberg Trials, and the terrible struggles the people who survived still grapple with.
