I am an American (3rd generation) of Jewish origins. Whenever I am up against a liberal coreligionist who is pro gun control, I just cite the Warsaw Uprising and ask them how this heroic chapter from WWII could have happened without a few Polish rifles and some handguns.

They sound like Obama trying to explain his remarks about the "bitter" small towners in Pennsylvania. Homina-homina-homina...

"Mila 18" by Leon Uris is one of the most gripping, riveting books I've ever read. It's a 'must' book on anyone's lifetime reading list.

Uris also wrote "Battle Cry" and "Exodus" among many other best sellers. A most talented author.

I saw that movie too and it brought me to tears. It does a great job of showing the parts of the holocaust that we don’t even think of. For example, it shows the process of the dehumanizing of an entire group of people. Starting with a NAZI showing no respect to the concert pianists elderly father. And then continuing to the seen where the NAZI’s were forcing elderly jews to dance in fear of their lives for their amuzement. We all know about the death camps but the movie brought home to me just how dehumanizing the process leading up to those camps was. Its not a fun movie to watch but it is definately one that I would recomend every adult see at some point in their lives.
