I don’t have anything profound to write for today, which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. As the child of Jewish Holocaust survivors, this day resonates with me more than for the vast majority of the population. As I have written, my father was the only survivor in his immediate family and had to watch the rest of them be murdered by Nazi troops.
I can write that my contempt and outright hatred for anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers burns with the heat of a million suns.
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.”
– Shakespeare

Disaffected Musings 
I agree completely with your heartfelt words and feelings for those of your family lost to the hatred of the Holocaust. My prayers for you and your family and all of those survivors and their families are always on my heart. The millions of innocent victims of World War II, both Jewish and non-Jewish and the millions of civilians lost in the fighting need to be remembered as we need to work to prevent another conflict that great. Our actions need to include standing up to the belligerent dictators preventing them from instigating another war.
