History is filled with terrible illustrations of the human capacity for cruelty, hatred, and violence; in every era, there have been ruthless tyrants willing to torture and kill in the pursuit of power and wealth.
In a public address in 1939 to the German nation, Hitler had vowed to achieve "the total annihilation [Vernichtung] of the Jewish race in Europe." The essential essence of the Final Solution is that it was to be final.
It was THE intent of the Nazi Einsatzgruppen (special task forces) to make sure that NO Jews were to be allowed to survive, even the children. A Biblical style genocide of an absolute annihilation.
The Nazi - read European antisemitic hatred was (and still is) so great that for them to leave even a single child alive they feared it may allow the Jewish existence of 3,000 years to continue.
It was to that end that at the infamous Wannsee Conference plans were made for the implementation of the Final solution to the Jewish question (German: Endlösung der Judenfrage). A nefarious plan of a modern industrialized extermination resplintent with the means of mass murder-albeit cheaply, by Cyclon-B gas and the means of disposal of the bodies -read evidence - in furnaces- baking ovens meant to turn the bodies through cremation to dust.
A monsterous plan which encompassed a vast continental wide operation and committed such immense financial and transportation resources: to track down and murder every last Jew in Europe.
There have been prior "world powers", civilizations, who have tried to eradicate the Jews as a country but never as a people. Even at the zenith of the Roman Emperor Hadrian's pyrrhic victory over the "Second Jewish Revolt" of Shimon Bar Kosiba in 131-135CE when he won he eradicated the memory of our Homeland Judea but enslaved or expelled the remainder.
Hitler's Nazi controlled empire however, stands alone for its unique deranged special style of European antisemitism. A hatred so deep and inexplicably vile that it allowed for the eradication of the Jews of Europe as an entire people its central aim despite the hardships of a modern industrialized World War! The Nazi regime in its madness brainwashed its citizenry with xenophobic rhetoric and modern mass communication methods to such exhaustive extremes to achieve it. That is what makes the Holocaust so infamously grotesque and terrifyingly unique.
The inexplicable virulence of the fanatical outburst of antisemitism, reflected today in the anti-Israel anti-Zionism is a hatred older then and different from any other in human history. The incarnation of xenophobic hatred is at the heart of what the Holocaust is about.
Let the memory of the Holocaust stand out as a warning to all men! Be forewarned that when a society fills with toxic hatefilled antisemitic immoral fumes, the example of the Jewish people as "the canary in the mine" of civilization!
It will do all detractors well to remember that Hitler set out to incinerate the Jews; in the end, all of Europe was in total ruination.
