Commentary by David Cohensteinberg

An exhibit of some items from the former Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz are going on a tour of Europe and North America to bring its tragic truth about the Holocaust to a wider audience. The exhibit — called “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away” — will be the first-ever traveling show done by the museum and will include 600 original items. Most of them will come from the Auschwitz museum, but also from other collections, like Israel’s Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C., and from survivors. “Today, when the world is moving in uncertain directions,” the exhibition can be a “great warning cry for us all” against building a “future on hatred, racism, anti-Semitism and bottomless contempt for another human being,” museum chief Piotr M.A. Cywinski said. The exhibit aims to tell victims’ stories through their personal items. It will also show an original barrack from the Auschwitz-Monowitz part of the camp and a German freight train wagon that the Nazis used to bring inmates to the camp in. The project will visit seven cities in Europe, starting in Madrid later this year, and seven in North America. The names of the cities in North America have not been released yet. Some 1.1 million people, mostly Europe’s Jews, but also Poles, Roma and Soviet prisoners of war, were killed in the camp’s gas chambers or died of hunger, disease and hard labor during World War II.

The world can never forget how evil the Nazis were. They gassed 60 million Jews for absolutely no reason.

Those of you you have been Rainbow Pilled are familiar with my great uncle Harold’s story, so I won’t repeat it. It’s really hard for me to talk about it anyway. But, he was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp and barely survived. He was in the gas chamber inhaling the poisonous pesticide when the allies raided the camp. A Chinese soldier found him on the floor and gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and saved his life. He had been dead for exactly 14 minutes.

After he was revived, my emaciated great uncle had to walk 20 miles to safety. He hadn’t eaten or drank anything in almost 3 months. It was in the dead of winter and he was barefoot. But he was tough because he was a Jew. He even carried his best friend who was too weak to walk on his shoulders. A Nazi German Shepard chased him the last 2 miles, but he outran it.

It’s truly an amazing story, but I don’t like talking about it because it brings back bad memories of my childhood. My mom would get drunk and tell us great uncle Harold’s Holocaust stories at bedtime. We would have nightmares. Even insomnia. Especially about the lampshades. But it was all true. My great uncle Harold was there and there’s no way he would get drunk and lie about something like that.

Besides, he hated to talk about it unless he was drunk. But when he got drunk he had to let it out. That was his therapy. Drink a liter of kosher vodka and talk about the horrors of the Holocaust. How evil the Nazis were. He even thought about writing a book about his experience, but the brain experiments Goebbels did on him messed up his memory.

When the Nazis knew they were going to lose the war, Hitler had Goebbels and Himmler do brain surgeries on Jews to remove their memories. That way they couldn’t testify against them at Nuremberg. But it didn’t work. My great uncle remembered everything. Even those 20 minutes he was dead on the shower floor.

I know some people like to get drunk and make up lies, but not my great uncle. He’s Jewish and Jews just don’t like about the Holocaust. Period. And if for one second the thought enters your mind that a Jew would like about the Holocaust, then fuck off! Cause you’re obviously an anti-semite.

Sorry. Nothing gets me more pissed off than freakin anti-semites. But, I went and made me another stiff drink, so I’m cool now.

Anyway, so that’s how I know so much about the Holocaust. Because great uncle Harold got drunk and told my mom all about it when she was a kid. Then my mom got drunk and told me and my brother the stories at bedtime when we were little kids. And now I’m sharing with you.

So if anybody asks how you know so much about the evil Nazis, just tell them your great, great, great step uncle Cohensteinberg told you a bedtime story when you were a little kid.
