FRmail me to be added or removed from this Israel Defense Forces and Israel ping list. Here you will find news, articles and fascinating stories about the IDF and Israel.
While I'd be interested in viewing pre-Nazi Jewish life and history, I think it would break my heart to view what man can do to man. I've read about the atrocities and they horrify me, I just don't know if I could follow the path laid out in the museum knowing what will happen.
Is there a memorial or museum in Germany that deals with the mass killings of Jews and approximately an equal number of others who were not Jews?
Does anyone know why the principal Holocaust Museum is in Washington, DC, far removed from the land of the killings?
Forever wondering.
I suppose if one rejects HaShem and the Torah that the Holocaust takes its place as the national foundation. But ironically it is the Holocaust with which Israel is continually hit over the head by such esteemed "mourners of the Jews" as Kofi Annan and the European diplomats.
Not to downplay the importance of Churban 'Europa' in Jewish history, but the idea that Yad Vashem rather than Har HaBayit is sacred center of the State of Israel speaks reams about the secular nationalism that is now bone dead and has given way to self-hatred.
