Horwitz Publisher / Executive Editor Holocaust Film Must Be Seen The BBC on Twitter asked its "one big question" on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz: "Is the time coming to lay the Holocaust to rest?" On the same night, HBO aired a documentary, Night Will Fall, that was hidden from the world for 70 years. We saw thousands of dead and the almost dead, many of them our Jewish ances- tors, strewn on the ground, thrown into mass graves, and heard the testimony of those who lived through the Holocaust and those who witnessed this barbarity for the first time. Even with the famous Alfred Hitchcock hired as a director of the concentration camps footage, politics still silenced the horrific truth the world barely knew. British politicians were concerned that Brits would feel sympa- thy for Holocaust survivors and push the government to accept thousands of Jewish immigrants — and so the movie was shelved. ahorwitz@renmedia.us Jackie Headapohl Managing Editor jheadapohl®renmedia.us Keri Guten Cohen Story Development Editor kcohen@renmedia.us Lynne Konstantin Arts & Life Editor lkonstantin@renmedia.us David Sachs Senior Copy Editor dsachs@renmedia.us Deborah Schultz Corporate Creative Director dschultz®renmedia.us EDITORIAL Editorial Assistant Sy Manello smanello@renmedia.us Senior Columnist Danny Raskin dannyraskin@sbcglobal.net Contributing Editor Robert Sklar rsklar@renmedia.us Contributing Writers Ruthan Brodsky Suzanne Chessler Annabel Cohen Don Cohen Shelli Liebman Dorfman shellidorfman@aol.com Stacy Gittleman Ronelle Grier Esther Allweiss Ingber Harry Kirsbaum Barbara Lewis Rabbi Jason Miller Alan Muskovitz Allan Nahajewski Steve Stein stevestein502004@yahoo.com.com Are You An Activist Or Just A Slacktivist? The Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies at Wayne State University announces a lecture by Professor Howard Lupovitch, director of the center and associate professor of History at Wayne State University. The lecture is titled "Activism, Not Slacktivism:' "Slacktivists rehash problems; activists Howard look for solutions," said Lupovitch Lupovitch. He will also the examine the complexity of prioritizing between specifically Jewish This is the kind of apathy that allows genocide and terror to flourish. Today, we read about the horrors in Syria, anti-Semitic violence all across Europe, and Islamic terrorists randomly killing Christians, Yazidis and Muslims — and yet the U.N. only criticizes Israel. And we watch our own president, des- perate to negotiate with Iran, refusing to admit that terror and Islamic extremism are linked. The BBC is not alone in its desire to forget about the Holocaust and pretend that the horror and hatred that's flour- ishing around the world is better left unreported. That's why we must watch Night Will Fall, never let the Holocaust "rest" and pay attention, no matter how painful, to the "Never Again" horrors that still hap- pen again and again. Arnie Goldman Farmington Hills causes and other causes, and the challenge for Jews outside of Israel of engaging the policies of the State of Israel.
