Like many I grew up on movies with German SS and soldiers machine gunning line-up civilians, or shooting them so they fell into mass graves. The news from the hospitals of Palestine has brought all that sick queasy horror back. It's a sobering support to hear the same comparison from someone who actually directly witnessed both. The documentaries we later grew up with, too, showing images of starved and dying inmates at death camps, have twinned in the stricken images of families and children in Gaza. As usual it's hard to breathe, knowing I am standing in the middle of all this happening now.
