What Is Tha Meaning Sore

Peruvians in this post :

Those who have ever visited the Jewish Holocaust Museum here in Washington, DC, we have witnessed the result as manipulative and depressing that this kind of museum produced. Jews as helpless victims are displayed at the end of presenting theater, facts and places that few can see. It lends itself to manipulation. Leaving the Holocaust Museum, you feel anger, sorrow, regret. Especially because the Jews of Israel are doing the same and worse today against Palestinians in the land they stole.

Some details:

1. The museum in question is called "Holocaust Museum" here, not the "Holocaust." There have been many genocides in the world, but only one has come to call "the holocaust."


2. This museum is not handled, but explains a historical fact that in the case of genocide may understandably depressed.


3. say that "Jews are shown as victims" as an example of manipulation is amazing. What if the dead were victims of Auschwitz? A person who was imprisoned in a concentration camp to be exterminated, what other name can have, but the victim?


4. "facts and places that few can check" is another amazing. What else is there to "check" on the Holocaust?


5. is not the first time someone is wrong to assert that "the Jews of Israel" committed a "holocaust" with the Palestinians. Error so common.

The most exciting of all is that it offers this kind of reason for the lack of a "museum of memory" in the country: "Make a museum in Lima would be a brutal conflict and a bad joke." In Ayacucho, a museum (about which I posted already), but it is important that in Lima, where political decisions that affect the entire country, so you and know exactly what happened throughout the country.

We have a museum "depressing" as the Inquisition, unique in the world. It exhibits torture, autos, confessions, clothing (many Peruvians against the Jews.) They are very vivid scenes of what happened. Facing our past, the older or newer, but we will not learn.

No historical figure is still controversial. One speaks with the Mexicans, especially the north, and the figure of Doroteo Arango, alias Pancho Villa, is controversial. While it is a hero of the Mexican Revolution in the north killed many people. In Peru we will be playing to take disputes and adopt a constructive attitude. To deny them is the worst thing you can do.

Anyway. In the end the author displays many qualifiers against Garcia, but on the specific issue of the German donation seems to agree on the rejection. Curious.

PS I also had the opportunity to visit the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Impressive, but really most impressive are those "concentration camps" turned into museums in Germany (And Poland). The German authorities themselves have tried to explain the shameful past to new generations (because the topic is not only "Jews", as stated without knowing). I visited the "concentration camp" museum-memorial of Dachau, near Munich, and a couple of museums as were prisons in Berlin (then West). Part of what Germany considers it important not to forget.

PS2. The author of the post mentioned relates to the Holocaust Museum "museum of memory", however, does not hurt to make the reservation that these are two very different historical cases. The first refers to a deliberate policy of extermination and the second to a counter-insurgency war. While there is overlap, as the ovens (in our case nicknamed "the brick" as related by Ricardo Uceda), he should be clear that in general are very different cases.




Bonn. Commemorative plaque

"In this place was a synagogue. It was built in 1878 and was destroyed by the Nazis violent acts against our fellow Jews on 9 November 1938."

Germany had and still has to face its own history.

How much will it take to Peru to do the same with yours?
