Ironic. I was hardly thinking of the Holocaust at all except perhaps as the capstone to not four, but sixteen, centuries of bare and easily-shaken tolerance at best and repeated, very serious attempts at genocide, both in Islam and Christendom, at worst. And I think less of the event itself than what preceded it. That is, the discovery that, when they needed somewhere to go, there was nowhere. All the countries they thought were 'friendly' shut their doors and let murder happen. Every honest Gentile, (I try to be one), does not expect that to be forgiven or forgotten for at least a thousand years. Only in this hemisphere was it seriously different until after Waterloo. Even then. And then the Middle Ages returning i the 1930s and catching the Jews defenseless.
