Jewish Museum Berlin Reflections

Agen BandarQ

Right right away I stand upwards inwards the Holocaust Tower, located inwards the basement of Jewish Museum Berlin. Nestled inwards the darkest corner that’s represent exclusively for i person, I let words to overflowing me faster than I tin write. The shadows from the nearby rustling trees trip the low-cal fantastic correct higher upwards me, creating shadows in addition to blocking the exclusively low-cal source — the Sun — equally I reverberate on the nature of human beings. The rattling species that I am.

The quiet is well-nigh deafening, shattered exclusively yesteryear the occasional shuffling of feet in addition to voices from exterior that escaped through the tight door. H5N1 bespectacled, tall human being of a unlike race stood contrary me inwards a familar variant of Singapore’s senang diri seat — amongst both arms behind his back, feet broad opened upwards — staring into the sky. He hasn’t moved. Not fifty-fifty i bit.

How is it that we, equally humans amongst sum command of our emotions, tin plough a blind oculus to our actions, fifty-fifty when they comport tangible, terrible consequences? Starve us, in addition to nosotros plough crazy, desperate for nutrient to satisfy our hunger. Cut us deep, in addition to nosotros bleed — a brilliant red, no unlike from the rest. Because nosotros wound no unlike from the rest.

I recall the sunset I caught the 24-hour interval before, surrounded yesteryear hundreds of people from unlike walks of life. How our cameras lifted to capture the same minute correct earlier the Sun sank beneath horizon; I think the Sun hung then depression that the heaven bled red. Is that non the carmine nosotros encounter when nosotros bleed? Do nosotros all non bleed the same blood, encounter the same sky, sentry the same sunset? How is it that unopen to are capable of such callousness none could receive got idea of?

How are nosotros whatsoever unlike from the cruelty of the Holocaust if nosotros never acquire from their mistakes? How tin nosotros ignore the continuous atrocious that’s STILL going on inwards the footing today? Because it doesn’t draw concern us? Because nosotros don’t encounter it? Because out of sight, out of mind?

After a while, it seems evident that nosotros are all the same. Still the same.

We exclusively acquire by for what concerns us.
