Ever wonder what the Hebrew word for Holocaust is?
Shoah.
I discovered that bit of trivia reading a news account recently of how the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, met with the Pope to set him straight on recent Jewish-unfriendly decisions. Imagine that! The chancellor of Germany confronting the Pontiff on HIS anti-Semitic tendencies!
Will wonders never cease? Of course not. It just goes to prove that sometimes what one needs to really drive such hatred out is to expose it enough to cast away all denial and confront sin at its ugliest, head on, so it can be finally discarded like a set of disposable gloves.
