There is a scene in Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-winning film Schindler’s List where the Nazi commandant Goethe addresses the Jews at a concentration camp worksite:
In a hauntingly similar vein, Reuters correspondent Nidal al-Mughrabi writes of the history of Gaza:“Today is history. The young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are a part of it… When, elsewhere, they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Kazimierz the Great, so called, told the Jews they could come to Cracow. They came… They trundled their belongings into this city, they settled, they took hold, they prospered… For six centuries, there has been a Jewish Cracow… By this weekend, those six centuries, they’re a rumor. They never happened. Today is history.”
