Whether someone made a poor casting decision is virtually irrelevant.
I wrote about the Holocaust because I felt it critical to discount Holocaust deniers. These mendacious historical revisers desire only one thing - to finish that which Hitler began with the Jewish people. There are many vulnerable individuals whose weak minds can be turned into hatred of minorities. It happened in 20th Century Europe. It can happen again. If we had learned from the Holocaust, we would not have witnessed Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda or Darfur. Prejudice continues. Someone has to stop the blind hatred.
"Jacob's Courage" is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are murdered. From despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, "Jacob’s Courage" examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.
I described the Auschwitz death march in great detail in "Jacob's Courage." AN Auschwitz survivor who read my book called me to ask how I knew exactly what it was like to live through the experience. That told me my description was accurate.
The worst characterization of the human experience is revealed through religious, ethnic, gender or racial prejudice. Only when we learn to value the differences among us will humankind move forward into a bright future. If we fail to learn this lesson, only darkness remains for our progeny.

Let's hope that our children will be more tolerant than our parents were.]]>Comment on The attempted escape from the Auschwitz Death Camp!tag:blog.holocaustresearchproject.org,2009-06-30:2216604Ari Menschem2009-06-30T15:30:37Z2009-06-30T15:30:37ZComment on Images of the Majdanek Death Camp!tag:blog.holocaustresearchproject.org,2009-06-29:2213676TT-Jones2009-06-29T13:43:12Z2009-06-29T13:43:12Z Far superior to those cheesy Holocaust blogs where all they do is bicker back and forth with deniers and wackos!

In many ways you have opened my eyes to a part history that I know can never be forgotten or denied.

Watching one of these death marches must have been a horrific experience!
I can't even fathom what it must have been to be a prisoner of one. ]]>Comment on The Holocaust in Belgium - Breendoncktag:blog.holocaustresearchproject.org,2009-06-21:2182325Alard Coen2009-06-21T15:28:15Z2009-06-21T15:28:15Z Alard]]>Comment on The destruction of the Austrian Jewstag:blog.holocaustresearchproject.org,2009-06-15:2167159Paul von Bronner2009-06-16T01:13:55Z2009-06-16T01:13:55Z I am a native born Austrian from Graz and I can attest to the quality dissertation you have produced.
