Jewish activists might be building a bridge too far here.
From The Guardian: “Jewish activists in Scotland have started a campaign to support the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors across the world, saying the trauma of the extermination camps continues to haunt the descendants of those who suffered there.”
Comments to Steve Sailer:
* I swear. I did not realize how emotionally devastating it was. Its a wonder they can get up and go to their banker/lawyer/doctor/dentist/producer/director/writer jobs each day.
On the downside, once you agree to pay for free [Jewish] shrinks for them, how can you, as a Privileged White Gentile, deny Equal Shrinkage for Somalis, Guatemalans, Iraqis, Egyptians, Native Americans, Afghanis, Mexicans, Vietnamese, Chinese and all the other tortured and oppressed people living in your country?
On the upside, as fellow (or rather, continuing) “holocaust survivors”, the new holocaust victims could take the place of their grandparents at the mandatory holocaust education classes that many US states require all public school students to take several times during their K-12 education. Might even get paid for their trouble. So they’ve got that going for them.
* I went out to dinner with some friends about a decade ago when a Jewish woman I did not know informed the table that she was a Holocaust Survivor. She could not have been more than 28 years old. I immediately asked if she was talking in the reincarnated soul sense (which at least would have been interesting), but no, she staunchly believed because one grandparent had a connection to the Holocaust that she too was a Survivor. While this seemed strange at the time, it has gained a general credence in certain circles.
The reality is that there is a literally booming business in Manhattan for psychotherapy for the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors. This is most definitely a thing, and a very profitable one at that. I am surprised that it has not yet gotten a proper write up in the New York Magazine. Certainly dealing with inherited Holocaust Trauma is more enthralling than listening to millionaires kvetch about the trauma caused by Hamptons traffic.
While it is easy to scoff at all this, Transgenerational Trauma may have some genetic validity. Certain traumatic events may trigger certain gene receptors that are then passed on to future generations. In other words, LAMARCKISM LIVES!
Or at least it may apply for certain genes.
* The lesson of the Holocaust is simple, and difficult. Hard for rich, insulated, degenerated people to get their minds around. Never EVER EVER be disarmed. And always, always, have arms about, know how to use them, and be willing to use them. Preferably in your ethnostate.
The degenerate thought in Jewish American life has gone from celebrating Israeli force of arms as Jewish survival, to …. demanding psychotherapy because your great grandparents got murdered by Hitler’s Nazis. That’s pathetic. Sad. And mal-adaptive. History is brutal and ruthless in destroying stupidity.
* That is not the lesson of the Holocaust. The lesson may be to have the money to leave when things look they are about to go bad – like most German and Austrian Jews were able to do. The other lesson, if you are a Jew, is that the more assimilated the Jews are into the population the better your chances of survival – Polish Jews got very little support from the local population. Danish Jews were entirely protected by the local population. Italian Jews also generally were protected by the locals. Plenty of armed Polish and Ukrainian Jews who tried to resist were simply shot and killed by better organized German troops. Most of the millions of Soviet prisoners who died horrible deaths in German POW camps had been armed before being taken prisoner. A gun is just another tool in the survival kit, it can augment good judgement and survival training, but is no guarantee of anything, and is certainly no subsitute for organization and intelligence.
