Opinion | How Absolute Evil Was Born Israel today

So how is memory shaped?

On what to "sit" the center of gravity?

One of the challenges of passing on the memory of the Holocaust from generation to generation, is choosing the hierarchy of weight of the various elements that make up this monstrous story, the like of which humanity did not know.

Any attempt to produce one narrative for him, one line - is doomed to failure or at least to miss.

The story of the extermination of the Jewish people in the Holocaust has many layers to it, and on that day, the day in which the last remnant will also disappear, we will inevitably have to shape what is called the "line-up" media.

Content outline.

What will he look like?

What will be the opening news?

Last holiday we read in the Torah the story of the parting of the Red Sea at the Exodus from Egypt and the miraculous song of the sea.

With slaves, the miracle towards his freedom, he was saved one last time through a miraculous miracle of plundering the systems of nature, and sang to his God.

What is he singing about?

"A horse and its rider level in the sea," "Pharaoh's chariots and his army shot in the sea," "You blew in your spirit, like a sea, dived like lead in mighty waters."

The vast majority of the poetry is devoted to the loss of the Egyptian enemy.

Only one line from it speaks of the insane miracle that occurred here just a moment ago: "And in the wind of your nostrils water was piled up, standing like a liquid vapor, freezing abysses in the heart of the sea."

In no field of journalism would knowledge have been constructed in this way.

"what's the story?"

This is the leading question.

And the answer: a sea split in two is the primary story, saving the persecuted people is the secondary story, and deciding the enemy is the third story.

How did Pharaoh's chariots drowning in mud become the leading story?

Because they are the story.

The central story is the story of the absolute evil that has raised its head, and of the need to recognize it, to understand that it exists, to isolate it and defeat it.

This is what the parting of the Red Sea was: first of all - the fall of evil into the hands of the divine good.

About that poetry.

And so, on Holocaust Remembrance Day and the other 364 days of the year - even before we deal with the souls and lives of the six million victims, the depth of pain and rupture, the world destroyed, the other planet, the intensity of survival, resurrection and revenge - we and our descendants .

To the utterly antisemitic evil.

To the monstrous Nazi hatred of the Jewish people, which erupted and struck and led to the systematic and inconceivable Holocaust.

Reflect on the evil of the Nazi leader, the evil of each and every one of their leaders and of each and every one of the Nazis, from the greatest to the last of their little ones, and remember one numerical figure that can not be placed in the center of the picture: 11,737,000.

This is the number of German citizens who voted for the Hitler-led Nazi Party in the last democratic elections in Germany before coming to power, in November 1932. On races that are "subhuman" and brought with their full support to the execution of the extermination of the Jewish people.

The evil hand of each and every one of them shed the blood.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
