Denial and Panic – How my Great Grandfather Foresaw the Holocaust

You can help this blog out by sharing this post with your friends.

Very few Jews in Germany between the two World Wars saw the Holocaust coming. My great grandfather, however, foresaw it with grizzly detail. No – this wasn’t any Gift of Prophecy, and it wasn’t Extrasensory Perception. Rather, it was that unlike other people, he didn’t fall into the trap of denial.

I thank my mom for providing old family photographs, as well as the one photograph of just my great-grandfather, that were used in this video.
