Didn't they suffer enough
Article: "Miss Holocaust Survivor"
I am not Jewish and from what I saw of old World War II clips and history shows, I feel for the people and their plights. I donate money to help Israel in times when I should not, but seriously people, I think that this is just going to cut it too close.
Sure, the idea that a contest to see how far someone who survived is just plain stupid. These women went through hell, their stories touched millions. It should just speak that they should have themselves recorded on a video, so when we lose them, they're truly not forgotten to time.
I honestly think after reading this article that the contest was in poor tastes, that even though some people thought it was suiting, I evidently did not. I'm not in Israel, so I wouldn't know a lot of what is going on in their politics. All I know is that sometimes it takes a little to know more about anything.
One thing to be said though, that it was not based on looks, but based on the women's memories of the Holocaust. They each told their stories, told how they each survived the horrors. They're best remembered for standing before the audience telling the younger crowd of their struggle to survive a place that was created by a mad man.
I for one would have sat there and listened to their stories, understood the message conveyed.
I do not applaud the contest, but I applaud these women who were brave enough to tell their stories. I hope that the newer generation understands.
