I am a 68 year old American Jew. I clearly remember the tail-end of WWll and the terrible discovery of the fate of 6 million fellow Jews following the war. The images and stories of this terrible event have been permanentaly burned into my conscienceness. As a kid, reading about the Holocaust, I was always confounded and amazed at the reaction or lack thereof, on the part of those slaughtered. That such an event was in the planning and the pieces of the Jews destruction were being assembled on a scale that could not have been all that secret (knowing what I know about human nature), and yet the intended victims CHOSE to ignore it all, until it was far to late --this has always baffled me! Until this past election. I now see how it works..... garden parties, faux seder dinners and such all feel so much better.
