RABBI WEIN ON DENIERS AND IGNORERS

I wrote an article last week about the strange Holocaust deniers who exist in the world, inside and outside of our Jewish camp and even in our religious world. The motives that drive such people are diverse and often perverse. They range from the smugness of knowing what God’s plans are and the assurance that those plans must somehow conform to one’s own preconceived assessment as to how things should be, to the self-hatred of those who suffer from the “misfortune” of being born Jewish.
