HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL HUMBUG
This Holocaust memorial is a modern trickery of smoke and mirrors. The attention given to this historical carnage is an intentional distraction, urged on by the rich and the powerful, to dupe the wealthy world into uniting around a self serving genocide narrative.
The slogans "we will never forget", "this will never be buried with history" maintain a vibrant focus on the grotesque aberration inflicted upon the Jews and all the other groups targeted. I share all right thinking people's horror at the Holocaust. My father was Jewish. I have visited four concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. So my point of view in no way undermines the need to remember.
However, the world before, then and since has been awash with a tsunami of blood. Hundreds of millions have perished across the world. Genocide, slaughter and carnage have been visited on so many, in such gross proportions and are still so being visited, that the concept of vaunting the Holocaust high above all others and all else must, I submit, have a political ulterior motive. If I began unpacking what that might be, it would cause considerable controversy, which itself would be counter productive to my central point. What matters, is that we stop building memorials, as if that was going to achieve peace, and instead, bravely identify the holocausts of our present generation, especially the ones for which we are responsible, and work tirelessly to bring them to an end. If that we so achieve, then a monument may be in order, but let's get our heads out of the past, where we have found some kind of dishonest refuge, and attend to the ugliness of our own day and causing.
