On Tuesday 18 Aug I spent 5 hours at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. I do not know how to process what I saw. I do not know how to display the grief and horror I felt. I imagine, since I have not seen the movie, that Tarantino’s movie violence cannot come close to the horror of the death camps; the children were killed first; the Russian prisoners were worked near death then murdured; men, women and children stripped of their clothes, dignity and breath; mentally ill persons were systematically murdered by the ultimate death panels; and so on. Compared to what really happened, Taratino’s movie is just a movie.
