The last survivor of Treblinka, the Nazi death camp of WWII, tells his heart-breaking story.
These stories have been told and re-told by many Holocaust survivors over the years, but this particular rendering is visceral, raw and very real. It reminds us that genocide, torture and ethnic cleansing are horrible injustices regardless of when they happen, or who they happen to.
One common catch phrase I heard growing up immersed in Jewish culture is "Never Again"; referring of course to the Holocaust and that it should never happen again. Well, the reality is that it has, it does and it will. Maybe the Jews are not the victims this time around, but there are victims. Hundreds of thousands of them, and it still goes on.
