A Revisit...See The Film: "Shoah" -Director, Claude Launzmann

For those who sit through the days-long film for hours and hours each day, you will understand
that Mr. Launzmann shows immense genius and loyalty directly to his ancestors by detailing the
intricacies in the methods of the many sorts of madnesses which kept generating horror.
Ever the artist, he also lets living persons who wanted their legacies joined to the physical records
of their own accountings tell their stories in their own words.
He lets the audience see the records of how all the victims' worldly possessions were confiscated and
liquidated to pay for train passage, and all that went with those passages, or divided among those
who had neither worked for or earned them.
He let's us hear the stories of young survivors who did so by cooperating with what they were told
to do.
Some of the particulars are much too awful to relate if you were not actually there to liberate camps.
So when we do honor those who lives were lost, we needn't ever have flippant reasons in order to
make unparalleled events seem parallel.
Off the cuff remarks are offensive, and inexcusable.
