We are about to mark the 70th anniversary of the start of World War Two. And after 70 years, and innumerable books and films, it seems as if many people in Western intellectual circles still have great difficulty in understanding what Nazism was. The NY Times cartoon claiming that Israel is equivalent to the Nazis shows this. To speak of the Nazis is not to speak of bad or mean people, or people who killed some civilians by accident. The word is, to say the least, overused today.
For me to see this cartoon was especially shocking after just having returned from interviewing an 83-year-old Holocaust survivor from our town. Her entire family was wiped out. She survived only because a kindly German civilian, working for the German army, warned her and 50 young people from Dolhinov that the SS was coming to kill them at 2 o'clock and they better head for the forests. As far as I know, all but one survived.
