I am watching the twelve-part film (television) adaptation of Herman Wouk’s “War and Remembrance” that I came across at our local suburban library. There is a contrast within the film of the universal versus the personal; particularly the personal account of an American-Jewish uncle and niece and her infant-toddler son as they find themselves trapped in Nazi occupied Europe. The personal becomes not only main focus along with the general fate of European Jews, but upon it hinges the sanity and morality of the universal, that is, mankind itself. It is the individual, the righteous man who, in fact, bears the consumate soul of us all in his actions

The 20th Century, despite the incontestable technological progess, and the scattered and evanescent moral progress was, as Pope John Paul II among others noted, the bloodiest, most violent in all of human history.

The stories you have narrated speak to another meaning of that tern, Tsaddik, as he who has come through the crucible.

[...] Which got me to thinking about the Nazi horrors of bookworm’s post and the Righteous Among the Nations (wikipedia), and as Deja Vu pointed out, the sometimes not so righteous. Some of the artwork shown last week and done by HH’s official artist Dzeni, is being featured again this week because it is quite fitting. [...]

Where do people like Harry, Miriam, and the others come from? How did they do it? I don’t think I would have had the strength to survive a tenth of what came their way.

Thanks, Bookworm. These people are lights to us.
