As I wrote my review of Richard Lowy’s book on Auschwitz it was not hard to see how the dehumanization and ultimate destruction of Jews is replaying itself in real-time at this very moment.
The support for Hamas, and the emerging anti semitism in many parts of Canadian society are sickening and enraging. I had thought this was something in the past, at least in Canada. I was wrong. Which is why it is so important to remember and help other people to remember.
The absence of outrage is chilling. There is no place for immunity to this horror which is playing out in front of us. These ongoing “events” have diminished us as a society and numbed our collective consciousness . It behooves us all to educate the young people in our sphere.
Let’s be more honest: the Nazis had as many if not more of a cheering audience than the Islamists. In fact that is the illumination - we know all understand how everyone cheered on the murder and hate and outrage.

It is monstrous.
