Colleagues:
[Just a side note, not intended to comment upon the current discussion of historical comparisons]
Picking up on Gunnar's reference to "Mein Kampf," Hitler pays a rather interesting compliment to the Jews in his book, perhaps unintentionally: Hitler writes that the Jews cannot be separated from their God. Since first reading that sentence, I have always thought that is the standard all religions' faithful strive for.
Happy Holidays to all the readers and writers of the world!
Best,
Eugene Schlanger
