Those who survive the horrors of a Holocaust, genocide, mass murder, or brutal war, generally have unspeakable pains locked up deep within the muscles and nerves of their souls. When they turn those memories into stories which they share with us, we experience a modicum of pain too - a million times lighter than their pains. So the question is: do our experiences of carrying the memories of their stories have any weight.? Are they worth telling? I don't know! Only those who read this book, written by a post-Holocaust-generation person can answer that question. My uncle and aunt, both of whom had experienced all the worst of the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust in Lithuania and Germany, fifty-five years after the war, wrote a book recounting their two different stories. When I got to read it in December 2018 it touched me so deeply that I decided I would visit Lithuania and go to some of the sites that they specifically mentioned. I came away deeply pained, but also angry as hell at the stupid human irrationality that validates the release from within us of the most primitive monsters which humans have in our nature. This book does those two things: tells of my feelings in reading the stories and visiting the sites of those last-generation horrors. The second part relates my thoughts about the unbelievably amazing stupid human reasoning that acts as excuses for the most primitive and horrible of human abuses of other humans.
