Hasta La Creative!

The frightening thing about TDA’s ad for Hillel Colorado’s Holocaust Awareness Week is the degree to which its premise is not a fiction. Millions of people do refuse to believe that the Holocaust took place. How many school kids today view The Diary of Anne Frank as a work of imagination, rather than a Jewish girl’s tragic true account of hiding from the Nazis with her family during World War II? Maybe one day, books telling of the American Revolution, the U.S. Civil War, the conflict in Korea, the Cold War, Vietnam, scores of mass exterminations throughout history and even human triumphs like the lunar landings and the fact that the Earth circles the sun will be viewed as fictions. Denying a single truth is the first step toward denying them all.
