I was just in Berlin again. And every time I see the stolpersteins I have to stop & read them. (Honestly, we're probably the only ones who care to bear witness). This time I saw an inscription that was different than the typical "Emordet". 'Versteckt gelebt, überlebt." 'Lived in hiding, survived.' And then I had this terribly saddening and bitter realization. We never left hiding. Jews are still in hiding to survive. 100 years later. I had to leave my Magen David at home both on my recent travels to Paris & Berlin - so that heaven forbid I wouldn't be recognized as a Jew by the bleeding heart "humanitarians". There is no other nation or people that have to pause before answering: "where are you from?" And every Israeli decides on the spot whether they answer truthfully or say Malta or Bulgaria (nobody really knows what they look like). These very same people allow themselves to hunt and abuse Jews publically in the name of justice and virtue. What righteous humanitarians. Fun fact: the Nazis also imagined themselves virtuous humanitarians.
