By Anna “Special Snowflake” Breslaw

Since I was 12 I’ve had an unappealing, didactic distrust of people with the extreme will to live. My father’s parents were Holocaust survivors, and in grade school I received the de rigueur exposure to the horror—visiting geriatric men and women with numbers tattooed on their arms, completing assigned reading like The Diary of Anne Frank and Night. But the more information I received, the less sympathy the survivors elicited from me. Each time we clapped for the old Hungarian lady who spoke about Dachau, each time Elie Wiesel threw another anonymous anecdote of betrayal onto a page, I eyed it askance, thinking What did you do that you’re not talking about? I had the gut instinct that these were villains masquerading as victims who, solely by virtue of surviving (very likely by any means necessary), felt that they had earned the right to be heroes, their basic, animal self-interest dressed up with glorified phrases like ‘triumph of the human spirit.’

I wondered if anyone had alerted Hitler that in the event that the final solution didn’t pan out, only the handful of Jews who actually fulfilled the stereotype of the Judenscheisse [Jew Shit] (because every group has a few) would remain to carry on the Jewish race—conniving, indestructible, taking and taking.

Poor little snowflake. I am afraid her screed says much more about her self than about the people she views with such disgust.

My question is Good Lord, WHY? This is not some drunken screed that one stupid blogger uploaded to a stupid blog, it was published in Tablet, which is supposed to be a magazine of culture and stuff (written and edited by elites who are better than you).

Wow...

I suppose she has never even imagined or thought to inform herself about the level of "survivor guilt" that the people she names have had to deal with. About how it was necessary (and heroic) for them to get up and speak out about what they had been thru, to inform the world, to honor the memories of those that didn't survive.

Nope, none of that has apparently even crossed her obviously and seriously "issue" riddled mind, instead she feels free to blame them for being the few to survive. Then goes on to assert that to do so was not simply a matter of luck or fortuitous timing but a clear sign of mendacity and connivance and then further impugns them as Judenscheisse.

WTFF? This woman needs some real help with her resentment issues, I hope she gets it.

SanFranciscoZionist Tue, Jul 17, 2012 7:59:34pm

That her father's parents are survivors suggests that this woman is too close to my age for this to be justified simply as a pouty twenty-something rant.

Unfortunately, I've heard this sort of thing before.

What surprises me, as Alouette says, is that Tablet agreed to publish this.

I hope Special Snowflake never has to find out if she has the courage of her convictions about not struggling indecently hard to survive.

re: #9 SanFranciscoZionist

I hope Special Snowflake never has to find out if she has the courage of her convictions about not struggling indecently hard to survive.

THIS.

I read the whole article and want to say something else, but I can't seem to find any words that can help me wrap my head around how someone arrives at the sorts of conclusions this woman has. It's as if she's an unfathomable alien.

Kafka. That's all that comes to mind. I only ever read one of his books, The Metamorphosis. I couldn't bear to read another. To me she is Gregor, and all I can do is retch as I lurch hastily toward the door in abject horror.

SanFranciscoZionist Tue, Jul 17, 2012 9:10:10pm

OK, so I Google her, and get this:

[Link: heebmagazine.com...]

I think this woman's got some issues.

Meanwhile, Tablet is getting raked over the coals in the comments.

Mostly sane, most of the time. Tue, Jul 17, 2012 9:48:28pm

Wait? They're scum for surviving? Her own grandparents? HER OWN GRANDPARENTS? What, did they forget to give you a big enough gift for your Bat Mitzvah?

I've always assumed that those that survived were younger, healthier, and frankly, a little luckier. I'm glad that they survived, because we needed a witness.

Sheila Broflovski Wed, Jul 18, 2012 4:04:18am

I kind of think that nobody even bothered to read the review of "Breaking Bad" that was bundled together with this: this is the reason Tablet published it, they thought it was a review of a TV show, and their editors just weren't paying attention.

She also list "Jezebel" on her resume. I like "Jezebel" is it too much to hope they will never publish anything by her ever again?

Obdicut Wed, Jul 18, 2012 4:31:53am

So fucking weird.

As an antidote to this, I recommend the heart-searching, soul-searching, beautiful and painful Survival In Aushwitz, by Primo Levi, camp survivor and wonderful human being.

Obdicut Wed, Jul 18, 2012 5:15:19am

re: #14 Obdicut

Goddamn it typo grr.

Also by Levi on the subject, The Drowned and the Saved. Also brilliant, more focused on what motivated the guards and kapos, how this was allowed to occur, and what is going on now that is similar to the camps.

Destro Wed, Jul 18, 2012 5:46:56am

You are right there should be no censorship, just trying to classify this. I post stuff the wackadoodle rightwing says all the time but to deride it and I don't see this in that vain.

I posted this here to show how out-of-touch and self-absorbed the cultural elite is, 1) for writing this crap and 2) greenlighting it for publication in their elite online magazine of culture & stuff. So yeah, to deride it.

This article is indeed crap and should be derided but so is using a term like "cultural elite". Who is your ideal cultural leaders? People who live in trailer parks and think TV hasn't been any good since they cancelled "Hee Haw"?

Please try and not use Republican/Right wing/Conservative bull shit language like "cultural elite" at least not to me.

Beyond that I agree with what you wrote.

To clarify, this seems like an obscure work in an obscure insular publication. Unlike Rush Limbough who has millions of listeners and thus worth publishing what he says and deriding it why illuminate something so obscure? So that 3 people who read this publication can poo poo it?

Leave obscure crap to rot on the vine.

Obdicut Wed, Jul 18, 2012 9:05:50am

re: #22 Destro

You're free to ignore it. Otherwise, even though stuff is obscure is no reason not to talk about it. That's a rather circular argument, and very self-defeating.

Sure I am free to ignore it but it has just been shown to a wider audience when the best cure for this kind of stuff is to let it die on the vine.

re: #24 Destro

That's a completely unproven assertion, though. And it really doesn't explain why looking at it and criticizing it is somehow nurturing it.

I hear this kind of thing often, that it would be better to just ignore X, but I don't really see why anyone believes it.

Can you explain?

Obdicut Wed, Jul 18, 2012 9:20:39am

Oh, and Tablet really isn't that obscure, so that part of your argument is rather thin, too.

I use the term "cultural elite" to describe people who think that because they are all artistic and writerly and hip and get stuff published in bullshit publications like "Tablet", that they are better human beings than the rest of us who aren't in their little hipster clique. Why you would imagine that I must admire "Hee Haw" just because I despise the like of Ms. Breslaw makes no sense at all.

Bob Levin Wed, Jul 18, 2012 9:55:47am

Everyone who writes seriously about survival in the camps says blind luck was a huge factor.

Tablet is a fairly up-and-coming publication in the Jewish world, and there are a lot of people here with an interest in Jewish culture. It's not exactly 'obscure', although hardly the NY Times.

People post all the time about stuff I don't know much about, or have no interest in. I scroll past, because I don't know much about that stuff, or have no interest in it.

"cultural elite" is right wing slang. Why is Tablet "elite"? Elite means elite as in the best. Maybe there is a better term like faux elite? I always liked the word "Poser" so lets call them elite posers instead?

Well, it is a screed against Holocaust survivors. Paired, awkwardly, with some commentary on "Breaking Bad".

I'm not sure there's an angle, I think the writer is just damaged and has found, briefly, a market for her rants.

You know I kind of am open to the idea of using oblique imaging to sort of make a point but I am glad you also read it like I read it, i.e. this was a load of crap.

The best spin I could put on it from first reading was maybe the author was trying to say the grandparents were tough SOBs for surviving but then I read it a second time and it was not saying that at all. This is why English literature is dead.

PS: I love Breaking Bad.
