Adolf Hitler Nazis: And there are things nightmarish things, inhuman things, done wilfully by human beings that cannot be grasped and given their due in a tweet or a caricature. Not even in skilful ones, and clearly not in the shock-you, say-what-I-want, tweet-for-tat variety, according to The Chronicle Herald. The exhibit features 45 large panels of powerful photos, eyewitness accounts and meticulous documentation of how Adolf Hitler Nazis took Germany down the road from scapegoating Jews for every problem in the country to murdering them on an industrial scale in death camps. Prepared by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre and provided by the Atlantic Jewish Council, the panels are being shown to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the mega-death-mill, Auschwitz, in eastern Poland, which was freed by Red Army units on Jan. 27, 1945 and There are more things in heaven and Earth, as Hamlet told Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. One of those horrific things is the Holocaust. The inadequacy of a few words to fathom evil, degradation and murder on this scale struck me forcefully this week as my son Joe and I walked through an exhibit at the Nova Scotia Archives, The Courage to Remember, which you can see at the University Avenue, Halifax, location until Jan. 30.
