Got to ask---when was the last time you saw a ravaged human body up close before the mortuary worked on it----just what I thought.
Actually the first time I saw a ravaged body was when I was around 8 years old. It was actually a time I remember enjoying in my childhood. We were on our way back from the slopes, the whole family had been skiing with a group of other witnesses, and we were driving home, singing kingdom melodies. We happened upon a car accident, it blocked the road and the driver had crawled out into the middle of the road. Due to the snow being white, we had a good up close view of all the blood and yes guts all over the road. Not to mention the screams from him, because he was still alive. We also couldn't help but notice that half of his leg was missing, and he was screaming for his child. There was a baby carrier also laying in the road, surrounded by blood, but we were unable to see the baby anywhere.
Now my question is...is life really that predictable that you are able to choose what you want to view for the rest of your life? Can you turn a blind eye to things you don't want to see? Of course not, because chances are, you already saw it and it is too late. Would I wish this upon anyone, of course not. But any time of our lives we may be forced to witness acts that we don't agree with, and I would rather my children be prepared than be in shock.
The reality is the Holocaust did occur, horrible things happeed during it, and to shelter or skim over the facts is really not getting a clear picture of what really happened. Not one of you can deny that retelling of a story and actually seeing it, have the same affect. Because it is just not so.
