You obviously have strong feelings and ideas about this. The baby girl is, of course, also dependent. However, she doesn't have to break from her mother until her teens. While every country is haunted by the long, historical shadow of the Holocaust, I can't help thinking that it casts an even darker one in Europe, where so many countries lost great numbers of Jewish people. Perhaps the long, bloody history of Europe leaves its mark on the people here.
Every new hell gives rise to a collective horror.
Every picture from the wars in the Balkans gives rise to the feeling that man is incomprehensibly evil. The Holocaust is the foremost symbol. Here, we had to witness a Western industrial nation use all its technical knowledge to build well-equipped factories where they rationally and systematically murdered millions of people. I have always been interested in the history of religion. Through the years, I've studied Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Judaism.
