Claire Luce Booth, the wife of the owner of Luce Publications, reported a frank conversation with a Jewish friend. Booth said, \”I must admit being positively bored by all this talk of the Holocaust and its constant repetition of Jewish suffering.\” The Jewish friend replied, \”I know just how you feel. I feel exactly the same way about the Crucifixion.\”

Each would like to see the other\’s story go away. But neither will go away. Golgotha and Auschwitz, the Crucifixion and the Holocaust, remain the dybbuk of our culture. They must both be confronted and understood.
