tattoos: the numbers don’t add up
Honouring the survivors of Nazi death camps by emulating their tattoos? ( see link at end)…Holocaust survivors are disappearing and, with them, the memory of what they went through. But some of their children and grandchildren have found a way to … Continue reading
nail his head to pariah status plank
Unbridled messianism based on peculair moral inversions. The redemptive scenario of the philistine as discardable tool in god’s grand design. War as cosmic necessity. This kind of ideology does seem wacky, out there, off the beaten track and over the … Continue reading
none was too many: but for whom?
Before the war was one thing, but after the war, Nazi’s could come to Canada after the war but Jews were still looked on as undesirables, although the culling out of the guilty in this absurdity is not that simple. … Continue reading

They really didn’t want them. In terms of “positive and useful human material” they were wanting. They were a remnant of a remant, one with frayed fibers, holes and separating at the seams. The dregs of the dregs. Israel really … Continue reading
