My husbands grandmother, Eva Moises, passed away over a month ago. She was a Holocaust survivor.
The Holocaust, the Shoah evokes images of the unthinkable: concentration camps, death camps, and crematoriums.
It's true, the systematic execution of Jews during the Holocaust and the evil that it took to design the final solution is unimaginable. But truth be told, about half the Jews were killed by their neighbors, not by Aryan men with German accents, but by people whose accents were the same as their own.
This is what happened to my husband's great grandfather. He was killed by his own neighbors in the Iasi pogrom in Romania.
Why did the townspeople turn on the Jews of their town?
If you really want to understand the Holocaust, if you really want to understand why it's so dangerous for a person going to a Covid-19 anti-government protest in Columbus, Ohio with a sign featuring a rat saying it's the Jews causing this, if you really want to understand why everyone needs to be soldiers in the fight against extremism, then watch this.
