![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present ![]() (Of course, they already are.) My husband’s grandfather once owned a bus company in Poland. I do not want my children to be someone else’s metaphor. And I find myself furious, being lectured by this exhibition about love-as if the murder of millions of people was actually a morality play, a bumper sticker, a metaphor. In the years since I walked through Auschwitz at fifteen, I have become a nagging mother. Then as now, Jews were cast in the role of civilization’s nagging mothers, loathed in life, and loved only once they are safely dead. It happened because entire societies abdicated responsibility for their own problems, and instead blamed them on the people who represented-have always represented, since they first introduced the idea of commandedness to the world-the thing they were most afraid of: responsibility. The Holocaust didn’t happen because of a lack of love. That the Holocaust drives home the importance of love is an idea, like the idea that Holocaust education prevents antisemitism, that seems entirely unobjectionable. Here it is the ultimate message, the final solution. “Love rarely comes up why would it? But it comes up here, in this for-profit exhibition. ![]()

Here, we are set back in time by the grandson who is just like us, telling the story his grandfather tells him, but with language and interpretations that are how we think about things today. Although it is interesting to observe how people think people thought in the past, it can be a little too un-modern and sometimes boring, like reading "Moby Dick" or some other great, but somewhat over the top book. ![]() ![]() Many historical fiction novels are written from the perspective of the thinking of the time. Instead of telling the story, I will make observations as to why I loved it:ġ. I have read some good fiction lately, but this one is special like "Catcher in the Rye" or "The Curious Incident" or maybe "The Kite Runner". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s an understandable move the six-episode TV adaptation foregrounds the romantic plot between Cora and Will ( Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston) and so generously gives that story a definite ending. The Apple TV+ version of Sarah Perry’s 2016 novel The Essex Serpent chooses to keep going past the deliberately ambiguous end of Perry’s story until it reaches the happy ending the novelist avoided. ![]() Quit while things are ahead, that’s happy keep going until it swings back the other way, less so. The pendulum swings of fate in most stories mean that whether they have a happy ending depends on where the storyteller chooses to stop.
