What should our second generation have done, what should it do with the knowledge of the horrors of the extermination of the jews? we should not believe we can comprehend the incomprehensible, we may not compare the incomparable, we may not inquire because to inquire is to make the horrors an object of discussion, even if the horrors themselves are not questioned, instead of accepting them as something in the face of which we can only fall silent in revulsion, shame and guilt. should we only fall silent in revulsion, shame and guilt? to what purpose?
