Why Read About The Holocaust?
00:04:34

|
| I've never understood why everybody does not feel an obligation to read one book on the Holocaust. | |
| It will change your life. | |
| To realize what happened in Europe, engineered by one of the most sophisticated societies in the history of the world, it has to make you think. | |
| Families rounded up, put in boxcars, and sent to be murdered. | |
| There is nothing quite like it. | |
| It's not the only genocide, but it's an industrial genocide. | |
| I speak frequently about the communist genocides. | |
| This was the Nazi genocide. | |
| Of the Jews. | |
| Others were slaughtered, obviously, in great numbers, but the Jews were targeted for extinction. | |
| Iran targets Israel for extinction. | |
| In the Jewish liturgy for Passover, in the book called the Haggadah, Jews read, it's a very old book, it's thousands of years old, and in it is a phrase, That I remember from the Passover Seder in my home. | |
| And of course, set to this day in my home. | |
| But I remember as a child, in the Hebrew, I won't bother with the Hebrew, but I'll translate. | |
| In every generation, somebody rises up to annihilate us. | |
| Not to oppress us. | |
| It's so interesting. | |
| To annihilate us. | |
| That was written almost 2,000 years ago. | |
| And I remember as a child thinking, well, not after the Holocaust. | |
| Nobody's going to want to do that anymore. | |
| And then there's the trustee. | |
| The trustee text was right. | |
| Now Iran wants to do it. | |
| And not only Iran. | |
| 75 years ago, President Eisenhower, then General Eisenhower, to his great credit, said, take pictures. | |
| People won't believe if we don't have pictures. | |
| I have a particular loathing for the Holocaust deniers. | |
| They're among the lowest of the low. | |
| There are really gradations. | |
| You know, I've always said there are gradations of sin. | |
| That's about as low as you can get. | |
| You're slaughtered and tortured and gassed and butchered and raped. | |
| But then somebody says, no, it didn't happen. | |
| It's the most documented event, probably, in history. | |
| So, I have a book on anti-Semitism. | |
| It's called Why the Jews? | |
| And it is an explanation of the phenomenon of Jew hatred. | |
| It's a unique hatred. | |
| Because it's exterminationist. | |
| Everybody hates some group or dislikes some group. | |
| Human bigotry is unfortunately quite ubiquitous. | |
| But none of them are exterminationist. | |
| We so hate you we want to exterminate you. | |
| That's reserved for Jews. | |
| And I believe ultimately it comes from Sinai and the Bible. | |
| I believe that there's a God element to it. | |
| Ernest van den Hag may have written the most persuasive explanation of the Jews that I've ever read. | |
| It's a very brief book, and he's a non-Jew. | |
| He wrote for National Review. | |
| He's a brilliant man. | |

Why Jews Left Judaism Entirely

|
| Ernest van den Hag. | |
| H-A-A-G. The Jewish mystique. | |
| Jews brought a judging world into the world and they've never been forgiven for it. | |
| He's not the only one to say it, but he said it really well. | |
| That's why Jews, many Jews, have left Judaism entirely, have become anti-Jewish themselves. | |
| Trotsky was an example. | |
| And there are others whose names I will not mention at this time, because I don't want to get into politics. | |
