1. Their memory will be transmitted.

There is a great fear that the Shoah will be forgotten but it will not be forgotten anymore than the destruction of the two Temples and the destruction and exile of Bnei Yisrael is not forgotten. The question is how will it be remembered throughout the generations to come. The book discusses that but there is no way to know how this indescribable horror, the destruction of one third of the world's Jews perpetrated in Europe, the so-called center of western civilization will be remembered by Yehudim themselves. When we look at the behavior of the EU and the European media's frequent demonization of Israel and Jews, we see that the hate for Jews is still, and always will be strong in Europe. For many and maybe most Europeans, the Palestinians and other Arabs are pure and innocent will Israel is evil. The Palestinians launched 4454 rockets at Israel's cities with the clear goal of killing thousands of Israelis and when Israel successfully defended itself then it was condemned for 'war crimes' because hundreds of civilians who chose to remain with hamas, were killed. So were hundreds of terrorists and that is what is important. Israel is t he only nation in history to warn its enemies' civilians to get out of harms way. hamas knew it was killing its own people but they did not care because killing Jews was more important to them. Their reward: The western media sided with them and the EU says they are not a terror group because no committee was formed to assess the charge and hundreds of millions of dollars are pledged for Gaza rebuilding. How can hamas lose? How low can Europe go? To the depths of evil as in the Shoah and they will likely try again one day this time allying themselves with Moslems. But Israel and Yehudim everywhere will remain strong and that is what we must keep in mind..

Besides the Raw Revenge and Pan Blame there is the deeper Horror of the Capacity of Human Evil.
3. Shoah ???
Mike ,   NZ   (01.05.15)
Is this name an attempt to humanise the Holocaust. Shoah my backside . . . this was the cold blooded murder of six million people by so called civilized Europeans. They should be dammed to hell for their actions and the word Shoah should not replace Holocaust.
