We can “draw a parallel” around any circumstances resulting in death, but we cannot make any single parallel death representing single given life. Holocaust is more than mental organization of some sort of unfortunate incidents one can use in moral engineering of structural rationalization. It is absolutely individualized religious asset of Jewish identity on the same way, as given Christ stays for ultimate definition of individualized Heaven. Whatever one does – can interpret only so much of sacred holocaust substance as much he or she really posses of it, but can never draw any parallel as it does not balance anything but your intimate being.

(Sorry the word "posses" corrected, if adding as comment, please ignore the first one sent, thanks) We can “draw a parallel” around any circumstances resulting in death, but we cannot make any single parallel death representing single given life.

Yes, indeed Germany is at fault as well as any of the countries in Europe that contributed in rounding millions of Jews to kill them. The nations of the world have taught the Israelis how to behave for over two thousand years. For thousands of years, Jews have lived in the Arab World, peacefully. Hundreds of thousands have left these countries, both after 1948 and 1967, due to the harsh measures imposed on them by the countries they called their own. In fact, my family had spent over four hundred years in Poland (all documented), yet were not considered citizens of that country until the middle of the 1800's. My great grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins were all killed only sixty years ago. I even lost a cousin in Israel due to a homicide bombing. His grandfather, BTW, fought in the Russian Army as a partisan after they killed his three children and first wife. But the amazing thing is my DNA (documented). I am considered of Middle East origin from my DNA. No matter what the Palestinians think, I am and my family will always be blood related to them. And how about that right of return? It's nonsense. What about me? Where do I go? Israel? Poland? But I am of Middle Eastern origin. I see some signs of wonderful hopeful activities in Palestine. I wish people quite wasting their lives in hate and start getting themselves educated on the truth....good or bad. Get some initative to build the country up and have the self-control to make their part of holy land, fun and profitable..Why continute to be pawns of the other Arab states and people living outside the territories. We all are smart people. Let's show the world to stay out of our own business. My son's room mate his freshman year at Northwestern University was a young man of Palestinian Muslim background who prayed everday in their room No problems. My oldest's best friend is a Pakistani Muslim young man who wants to be a doctor. Again, no problem. What was the answer. American democracy and the virtue of instilling in our children respect and toleration of others. I wish there was a pill we could give everyone to stop hating. . In terms of the "academic," we have those types, too, in the U.S. I know the Holocaust is not a subject taught in the Arab World. Why? Let the Arab world study their role. Let them look at the records....it is not just Germany's fault, it's Frances, etc. Even France is paying money for their role in the Holocaust, did you know this? Check it out. It is online. Stop plaiying the blame game. We all have horrors in our history. We must use our energies to get our lives together to have joy on this planet while we can. Look and work towards a brighter future for our beautiful children. Stop teaching hateful stupidness. CM

Unfortunately Palestinian Arabs were involved in the holocaust insofar as it was their then leader, Muhammed Amin al-Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem, who spent the war years in Berlin as a guest of Adolf Hitler, advocating the extermination of Jews in radio broadcasts back to the Middle East and recruiting Balkan Muslims for the 13th Waffen SS division that tried to wipe out Jewish communities throughout the region. In 1940, al-Husseini requested the Axis powers to acknowledge the Arab right: ... to settle the question of Jewish elements in Palestine and other Arab countries in accordance with the national and racial interests of the Arabs and along the lines similar to those used to solve the Jewish question in Germany and Italy.
