The Holocaust is Killing America’s Jews

“THERE is almost nothing more sacred or more sensitive for Jews living in the generation after the Holocaust than the memory of the six million martyrs of the Nazi genocide… Now that ‘revisionists,’ who seek to deny the Holocaust, have become even more brazen, sensitive Jews are reacting with even great passion.

“But obsession with the Holocaust is exacting a great price. It is killing America’s Jews…Jews as a group are drifting away from their religion…Unless there will be, within the very near future, a dramatic turnaround in the patterns of Jewish assimilation and intermarriage, we are probably witnessing the last generation of Jewish life in America as we know it…

“Right now the priority seems to be building Holocaust memorials. More than $500 million has already been pledged or spent to build 19 Holocaust memorials and 36 research centers or libraries in America. Some cities, like Los Angeles, have two or three competing Holocaust memorials…

“There is a Holocaust taking place in America right now. We can’t hear it, because there are no barking dogs…We can’t smell it because there are no gas chambers. But the net result is exactly the same.”
