6408119 Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, historians have become both more accurate and more honest--fractionally more brave, one might say--about that 'other' cleansing of the regions and peoples that were ground to atoms between the upper and nether millstones of Hitlerism and Stalinism. One of the most objective chroniclers is Professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University. In his view, it is still 'Operation Reinhardt,' or the planned destruction of Polish Jewry, that is to be considered as the centerpiece of what we commonly call the Holocaust, in which of the estimated 5.7 million Jewish dead, 'roughly three million were prewar Polish citizens.' We should not at all allow ourselves to forget the millions of non-Jewish citizens of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and other Slav territories who were also massacred. But for me the salient fact remains that anti-Semitism was the regnant, essential, organizing principle of all the other National Socialist race theories. It is thus not to be thought of as just one prejudice among many. accuracy antisemitism belarus berlin-wall bravery historians history holocaust honesty jews massacre national-socialism nazism operation-reinhard poland polish-jews prejudice racism russia slavic-peoples stalinism timothy-d-snyder ukraine yale-university Christopher Hitchens

We all have good and bad in us, and we have to strive all the time to make the good cancel out the bad.

130dfa3 "I believe...that to be very poor and very beautiful is most probably a moral failure more than an artistic success. Shakespeare would have done well in any generation because he would have refused to die in a corner; he would have taken the false gods and made them over; he would have taken the current formulae and forced them into something lesser men thought them incapable of. Alive today he would undoubtedly have written and directed motion pictures, plays, and God knows what. Instead of saying, "This medium is not good," he would have used it and made it good. If some people called some his work cheap (which some of it was), he wouldn't have cared a rap, because he would know that without some vulgarity there is no complete man. He would have hated refinement, as such, because it is always a withdrawal, and he was too tough to shrink from anything." beautiful-losers bravery courage courage-to-be-oneself fresh-ideas great-art greatness hip-hop innovation integrity lars-von-trier modern-art porn-as-art pornography refinement sasha-grey sex-in-cinema shakespeare struggling-artist struggling-writer the-truth vulgarity Raymond Chandler
