As we approach this year's Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January 2021) Lincoln Professor at the University of Lincoln, Professor Brian Winston is in conversation with Andrew David, Managing Editor.
HERITAGE: CIVILIZATION AND THE JEWS, PART 8: OUT OF THE ASHES
Heritage: Civilization and the Jews was a nine hour American television series on the history of the Jewish people from ancient times up to the present. It was produced by WNET, the public service station in New York in 1984.
I was asked to write the 8th episode which dealt the period of the Holocaust – the destruction of European Jewry between 1933 and 1945, a story all too familiar but we felt it could be told again --- not to show horrific images but to explain the how and try to understand the why. Hatred, prejudice and bigotry is a curse which can strike against any and every human being because at too many time in too many places, people define themselves not by who they are not but by who they are not. It is easy to persecute any within reach who are in anyway different. Of course, we remember the millions murdered during this one persecution, but we also remember what began as a war against the Jews ended by being a war against humanity as a whole…. It is a model for persecutions anywhere, at any time.
So it is about a war which is with us yet…. We remember how it happened so we can see in today’s discriminations the warning signs of what could well be to come….
I wrote this script decades ago but I fear my reasons then are still as pressing. The lessons then are, I fear, still needing attention now.
