Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: If 'food hoarding' is considered a "survivalist plan" then, yes, there is quite a bit of documented evidence that holocaust survivors - especially those subjected to concentration camps or ghettos - often displayed this kind of behavior later in life. Art ....
Comment preview: I'm currently writing an honours thesis on Holocaust Denial, so I've had to familiarize myself with Holocaust Commemoration to understand the context of the Holocaust Denial movement. I'll illustrate what I've learned about Holocaust commemoration using t ....
Comment preview: During Israel's Independence war, a 20,000 men strong armed force was formed out of "foreigners" - non-Israel-born soldiers, most of them Holocaust survivors. They took part in the war and many of them fell during the battles. [This Hebrew site](http://www ....
Comment preview: You say: >If you look into the history of literature on the Holocaust you will see that immediately after it occurred there was silence greeting it from every corner. Jews themselves did not want to talk about it [...] It was only in the 1960s when a ne ....
Comment preview: Im very drunk right now so I';ll try to do this right: I'm Jewish, grandparents and great-grandparents lost in the Holocaust. Family from Lodz mostly. I went to California public HS and USC English progfram. In all I will tell you, though people only talk ....
Comment preview: http://youtu.be/m3F9Rc6i_-w Here is an episode of This is your Life from 1953 in which they talk to a holocaust survivor about the "amazing" life she had lived. Listen to how they describe the holocaust and WWII in general. Americans for the most part di ....
Comment preview: I have found evidence to the contrary. I wrote my sophomore seminar paper about the ways that Holocaust survivors put their lives back together and used the letters of US Major Irving Heymont extensively. He assumed control of the Landsberg DP camp near Mu ....
Comment preview: Ugh, this is so disgusting. The first time I ever went to /r/holocaust it was honestly traumatizing. I was searching for something on the site like a Holocaust survivor AMA or askhistory thread or something. Since I'm Jewish I do have a personal interes ....
Comment preview: Holocaust historian here. "The Nazis" weren't "pure evil". They were mostly ordinary people. Which makes it worse, in a way, because it means the consequences for our traditional notions of "humanity" are more severe. If the Nazis were evil, the Holocaust ....
Comment preview: I cannot understand anyone who's against comparison of persecution of Jewish peoples as well as gay people. First off, both suffered immensely at the hands of the Third Reich. Although, after the war, the Allies refused to acknowledge gay prisoners and gay ....
Comment preview: Didn't you read the article? Top figures expressed their opinion on the genocide and well, for some magical reason that is an awful thing to do, some people even bring the "my father was an holocaust survivor" (great, tell your father to shed his opinion w ....
Comment preview: 22 pages about this on NeoGAF. Some of the posts divulge into this pseudo-philological babble about language barriers. It's a fucking in-joke. The origin of PC Master Race and how it evolved to its current meaning is no different than how Americans took to ....
Comment preview: Hello. I am not Mr. Lesser, but I am a direct descendant of holocaust survivors and my grandfather, who is still alive, was sent to a concentration camp. I feel I am qualified to answer, I'll try to do my best. I have run into several holocaust deniers, bu ....
Comment preview: My wife's uncle thinks that the holocaust was actually (this is his perspective just go with it here) a misunderstanding. You see, the Jews were (and still are) a major influence due to their control over financial institutions, WWII era Germany was no exc ....
Comment preview: These photographs are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather. Would he ever talk about his experiences liberating Dachau or didn't he like to talk about it? I'm focusing my studies on the Second World W ....
Comment preview: I can't speak very well to this topic, but I know at least in Palestine (where I'm working right now) it's mostly political. The Palestinians feel that admitting the Holocaust happened invalidates the narrative of the Nakba. All Jewish Israelis, even Israe ....
Comment preview: I stopped listening to Radiolab after this episode. Krulwich was incredibly callous in that interview. The interviewee's claims of racism are unfounded (in her blog post responding to the apologies), but Jad and Krulwich tried to force what they believed ....
Comment preview: Let's say you are German. You go to school, learn in class what happenend in Germany. You go to concentration camps. Your school invites holocaust survivors. The TV shows WWII stuff all day. You grow up feeling sorry for what happenend in Germany decades a ....
Comment preview: I personally wouldn't think it wrong if OP would get a tattoo like theirs to honor their memory and remember their history. A famous Holocaust survivor from my country died a couple of weeks ago and a lot of people were talking about conserving her tattoo ....
Comment preview: > There's a lot of vegetarians crying about meat eaters like they're the equivalent of Nazis committing a holocaust. [Funny you should say that... Holocaust survivor Dr. Alex Hershaft:](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-a-webermann/why-is-a-holocaus ....
Comment preview: She married a Jewish man. Here are a couple of a questions she was asked in an interview: **Q.You married the Israeli son of a Holocaust survivor. Is that right?** My ex-husband's father was in the Warsaw ghetto as a child, but his family left with false p ....
Comment preview: Kinda related, but not really. My grandfather was there when Auschwitz was liberated. My freshman year of college, a holocaust survivor that was in Auschwitz came and talked to my world history class. Of all the soldiers that liberated that camp, he rememb ....
Comment preview: My aunt is a Holocaust survivor. Most of her family died. She's shown me old family photos and tell me who survived and where they went. My remaining family is all over the world - wherever they could go. I had a funny realization growing up when a friend ....
Comment preview: I just do not understand how they can deny what so many survivors went through. I remember an AMA with a Holocaust survivor and she [said](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1xt5bb/iama_survivor_of_medical_experiments_performed_on/cfedk57) that she has ....
Comment preview: I can't agree more. I'm a veteran. A veteran who killed well over a dozen Afghani citizens in my term of service. A horrible shame, but certainly not a heroic act. Cowardly if anything; half of those were in self defense. A heroic person protects people at ....
