Self Isolation

anne

In many countries around the globe people are being advised to self isolate when they have or think they may have symptoms of the Covid 19 infection. The recommended period vary between 7 and 14 days.

Many people say this has never happened before.However for many this was a reality due to the virus  created by Adolf Hitler and his like minded friends in Germany and other European countries, a virus fueled by hate and indifference. The difference though the Covid 19 virus has a high survival rate whereas the Nazi virus meant a certain death for many, especially when you were Jewish,Gypsy,Disabled or or other groups deemed sub human by the Nazis.

To survive many went into hiding, which was basically an extreme  form of self isolation. There are many examples but I am sticking to the most famous account of ‘ Self Isolation’ that of the Frank family.

Of the Frank family only Otto, the Father, survived. He lost hos 2 daughters and his wife to this ‘virus of hate and indifference’

Below are some diary entries of Anne and also some words of Margot.

Margot Frank

“Times change, people change, thoughts about good and evil change, about true and false. But what always remains fast and steady is the affection that your friends feel for you, those who always have your best interest at heart.”

“Last night Margot and I were lying side by side in my bed. It was incredibly cramped, but that’s what made it fun. She asked if she could read my diary once in a while. ‘Parts of it,’ I said, and asked about hers. She gave me permission to read her diary as well.”

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!”

A vaccine against the Covid 19/Corona virus is currently in development, especially scientists in Israel are making a good progress on a vaccine and a treatment. Just imagine what could have been if the Nazis hadn’t been able to carry out their final solution.

Unfortunately there is no vaccine as of yet against hate and indifference.

Ethnicity-Human

The lesson we haven’t learned from the Holocaust is that we are still putting people in groups.

One of the reasons why the Nazis were so efficient in killing millions is because they were able to put people in groups. It made it easier for the “normal” citizens to accept the horrors of WWII and the Holocaust.

When someone is different then you, it makes you more indifferent to the fate of that person.

Today we do the same thing but we have replaced the idea of groups with the scientific term “Ethnicity.”

Determining that someone has a different ethnicity makes it easier to look away from what happens to them.

It is true, that different people have some distinct genetic characteristics, but the similarities we all have, outweigh the differences.

Even in some Holocaust literature, I have seen the term Ethnicity, but only if we start to accept that there is only one Ethnicity, namely Human, only then we can start thinking of eradicating hate and indifference.
