They should build a Holocaust Museum on the Moon

Certain “moderates”, even in the Jewish world, have expressed complete insensitivity to the idea that the 9/11 memorial should be about 9/11 only, which would entail eliminating references to other acts of man’s inhumanity to man, including the holocaust.

Now a certain heroine skeptic by the name of Jane Jacobs (as if she should be weighing in on the future of downtown New York - it’s not like she saved it from the bulldozer of Robert Moses’s Lower Manhattan Expressway or anything like that) said we should wait (yawn) to build a memorial for awhile, because while it 9/11 is certainly meaningful, we “don’t yet know what it means.”

Nonsense! Let’s rush and build something, even if it’s grotesque and we’re stuck with it forever.

But it has to include something on the holocaust! We only have one museum (in downtown New York) currently dedicated to the Holocaust. This is (downtown) New York, not Albuquerque, New Mexico! One is fine there, I guess. Maybe.

The suffering we feel about the holocaust supercedes all others, even if it has nothing overtly to do with it. So what if the Holocaust happened in Europe?

We come before all domestic tragedies. That’s why we received land for the U.S. Holocaust Museum decades before the African-American Museum on slavery, and before the Native-American Museum for their genocide museums.

So their tragedies occured here. So what? They aren’t as white, and they aren’t rich. And if they complain, call them anti-semitic.

When they build a museum for the Tsunami, it MUST include an exhibit on the Holocaust.

How dare anyone even think of building a memorial about 9/11 (or anything else) without including our Holocaust?

Long live our hegemonic death camp culture!
