Holocaust Memorial Day: pieces of a puzzle

Julian Kossoff, Telegraph [UK]:

- Remembering genocides is not a numbers game.

- Do Jews ask for special sympathy regarding the Holocaust? Believe me, we wish we didn’t have to.

- Did God die at Auschwitz?

- Let me try and explain (without denying any of the transgression against the Palestinians) why the birth of the State of Israel, for the majority of Jews, represents the Phoenix rising from the fire. Three years after being slaughtered like lambs we were reborn as lions of Judah. The yin had its yang, and the pain became bearable.

- Recently, my cousin was sitting with an old family friend, a gentlewoman of Tel Aviv, in her garden. Suddenly, an air raid siren started to blare – no drill had been announced. “What shall we do?” asked my cousin. “Well,” said the Israeli, “would you rather die in the house or in the garden.”

- Stop hijacking the Holocaust: anti-Zionists who use Holocaust imagery to further their cause are cruel liars and are just asking to be discounted with the ‘A’ word.

- Stop cheapening the Holocaust: right wing Zionists and religious zealots who ritually denounce their critics (including other Jews) as ‘Nazis’ shamefully drain the word of any meaning.

- Stop denying the Holocaust (one for you Nick Griffin, BNP duce and would be MP): only a twisted mind and a blackened soul could indulge in such a sadistic perversion of history.

- “The anti-Semites cannot forgive the Jews for the fact that they have ’spirit’.” German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (you may be surprised to hear).
