There are many books about surviving the Holocaust with each
containing an individual experience of the survivor. The scale of the tragedy
is such that it can punch any human being with a conscience straight in the
gut. The wide range of torture faced by the victims in ghettos, concentration
and labor camps is enough to make any human cringe with the thought of the
depths of human cruelty. All was done in the name of satiating the desire of
establishing their supremacy. Such is the consequence of human intolerance
towards one another. It is as if we are living is a society, which seeks a
reason to hate instead to love and, unfortunately, today everyone seems to be
going along the same path.
Many Jewish book publishing house encourage the books of
Holocaust survivors so that their story comes out. It gives a different vantage
point in the story of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. It is the most
important aspect of the contemporary history because it shows the evidence of
what the hatred for fellow humans bears in future. The aftermath is good for
neither, as Germany still suffers the mistakes of one leader who was
single-handedly responsible for the massacre of 6 million Jews. Such a feat
only increases the shame we have for human beings as a species, which fails to
nurture itself. If there is an impartial onlooker, what message are we sending?
