Feb. 26th, 2003 11:37 amSo i just saw this documentary called "The Last Days" about Hungarian Holocaust survivors....it was very interesting... quick history lesson, the Hungarian Jews were among the last to be exterminated...when Hitler was already clearly losing the war. It's like, they almost made it....but not quite.
anyway, it was very sad. the survivors were all quite young, still. one woman who survived Auschwitz went to look up information on her sister who died and then met with an SS officer who was also being interviewed for the documentary to explain what some of the things on the document she had meant. He was very evasive and she got very angry, but was trying hard to be civil. It was hard to watch.
Also a woman who held on to her diamonds all thru her time in the camp by swallowing them repeatedly, and had them mounted into a teardrop shape eventually...
so i think i need to write a poem or something.
it's funny. toad has a song called Amnesia, and they play it regularly now as their antiwar schpeel...and one of the lines in it is "the final solution is back in style" and its basically about how we forget past horrors and repeat them again and again. and it angers me a lot and i can't sing along even tho it's a great song because... well right now, it makes no sense. it would make much more sense as a pro military action song, right now...
and jenine garafalo said she didn't speak out about being against US troups in Bosnia back then, cuz it wasn't "in" then. Oh, and Sheryl Crow needs to be bludgeoned for being a goddamn hypocrite.
end rant.
