These incidents were even discussed by Frank Rothman, a Holocaust survivor who shared his story with an audience Thursday as part of Jewish Culture Week.
Hatred causes all the problems of the world.
Although Rothman was not directly addressing the recent tragic events in Colorado, he spoke in reference to the hate that led humans to starve and beat and kill other humans in cold blood during the Holocaust. Jewish organizations such as Hillel and Jewish Student Union participated in the annual Jewish Culture Week. The week is filled with different activities intended to inform Jews and non-Jews alike about Jewish culture and heritage. According to the JSU Vice President Cris Iglesian, who organized this year's speaker, one day of the culture week is always dedicated to the Holocaust. The event is aimed at everyone - not just Jews.
