Being Jewish, I too can relate to the author’s Passover Seder’s and hatred for my parent’s and grandparent’s german tormentors and murderers. Because of their experiences, i too experienced their fears and distrust of the outside world which they carried deep in their soul, although there was never any burning of the flags or threats of murder against anyone.
I must part company with the author for I know how the denial of the Holocaust carries swift penalties, you see Germany is the biggest trader with Iran and they refuse to adopt any debilitating sanctions against Iran that will stop their march to nuclear statehood and their promise of Israel’s annihilation. I believe the Prez of Iran stated that it was good 6 million Jews lived in Israel, the easier it would be to murder them (again).
So, I hope the author does forgive me for not removing my suspicions of a country that so systematically tatooed & terrorized, starved and tortured my people, with great help from many other “civilized” countries of the world.
When Germany is willing to stop doing business with the Jews new Nazi-Iran enemy, then everything else they say and do is shallow, hollow platitudes. For me, actions speak louder than words. Rev Wright’s words and Obama’s ability to sit there with his wife for 20 years and have the Rev as his moral compass also speaks louder and in contradiction to his words.
What a shame, the first time in history we have a woman and a man of mixed race and they are not the best, honest and most bright representing their own.
I am waiting Germany for you to fulfill this author’s dreams of not holding this generation responsible, while they are financing the next Holocaust on the Jews of Israel. Horrific irony !!??!!
