"Anna Brahm's Dolls"
I've never seen dolls quite like Anna's
Holocaust dolls.
I never imagined such could be made. One just sits, and meditates in the
presence of these creations. Of 'all' dolls these may need the most loving.
The extreme contradiction of "dollhood' with the idea of deliberate
extermination of a whole people leaves one,...what? Spiritually stunned, a deer in Satan's headlights?
Given these awful hateful times where nations have looked the other way.
Looked away again, and let genocide blossom once more.
Africa Asia, and yes Europe again. Also the little exterminations that don't take whole people. Just the odd tribe village or region.
We all look a way.
That or view it with the lens of this or that ideology or passing political fad. A friend spat derision at these dolls when I first found them. Telling stories of the cruelties of the Israeli government, and armed forces.
Yes Israel has done terrible things,...so have the Islamists. What has this to do with who these dolls represent? You would curse a kid in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1941 for the acts of right wing Israeli polices in 2013?
Really...?
My feeling has always been that the American Left, but especially European still has that old fashioned Jew Hate. It's never gone away.
Actually not only the European left, but continental Europe generally. That shit is coming back. Well it was always there it's just coming out of the closet again like it does from time to time over the centuries.
Humans are an awful species.
We hear G-d in our hearts, and think that means we can go slaughter every one in sight.
Maybe there should be more kinds of genocide dolls. Cambodian African various former Yugoslavian Chechen Salvadorian.
There's a long list of post-1945 mass murders, and there should be dolls for each one.
There should be a "Doll Day" like in Japan, but for these Special Dolls. It's an idea,...don't know if it'll do much good.
Still it's a good intended idea.
Maybe if the "good intentions" pile up enough some few might be moved to actually do something.
Stay tuned.
Jew-hating indeed never ended. I've learned this on web forums, where anonymity lets people say what they think. Holocaust keeps happening in various places to various groups.
ReplyDeleteIn a few million years our species will be extinct. Nothing to get upset about. Quite a relief for the other species, I should think.
Sadly you said it all this is who we are.
ReplyDelete...mostly.
