Thanks for this — it’s a thoughtful and heartfelt piece. I have always (pretty much, anyway) identified as a Jew (though observant only up to a point), and married into a family of Holocaust survivors — so hearing the perspective on these events of someone whose Jewish identity has been somewhat less strong over the years is interesting and valuable. You might be interested in a Medium piece I did a few years back on visiting Buchenwald. If so, you can search it under my name, Howard Simon, and “Buchenwald.” Thanks again for this contribution.
