RE: Auschwitz, will we ever learn?
I agree on all accounts. It's so frightening to see the world plunging into an abyss of extreme nationalism, fear, and hate similar to that of the 1930's. After having that 23andMe genetic test and finding out about my Ashkenazi Jewish heritage it changed the lens in which I see the world pretty much overnight. Glad to see you writing again, @clio. I hope all is well!
Thank you, Eric, I hope to write more in the future. All is well with me and my family.
I hope you are proud of your Jewish heritage. I can fully understand that it has changed the way you look at the world. Perhaps you have read books about Jewish history, for example, the novels of Chaim Potok including the beautiful book 'Wanderings' or 'The Source', a historical novel by James A. Michener. Both books were written decades ago, but provide an overview of the history of the Jewish people through the ages.
Glad to hear all is well. I'm definitely proud of my heritage. It all was a bit confusing though because the family oral history on my father's side said we were Native American and that couldn't have been more inaccurate. I haven't read any of those books but will put them on my "to-read" list.
