The Palestine Papers

[Beirut]

Why should any Jew have learned from the Holocaust?

The camps are not university. Not literature or theatre. You don't learn anything of value there. Nothing comes out of it. It's banal violence, not important lessons for Jews to learn.

It's like decrying that a woman has not learned her lesson after being raped.

I disagree.

There are fundamental things to be learned from being a victim; the abhorent nature of violence and the power of the soul.
