Holocaust survivor perishes as the result of another war

91-year-old Holocaust Survivor Perishes in Mariupol Basement
chabad.org
Quote:As she lay dying in a Mariupol basement, freezing and pleading for water, Holocaust survivor Vanda Semyonovna Obiedkova wanted to know only one thing: “Why is this happening?”
Ill and emaciated, during the last two weeks of her life the 91-year-old could not even stand up. She died on April 4, not peacefully of old age in her own bed, but as a victim of the horrific 21st-century war that has engulfed her hometown.
As they mentioned over on AD, let's hope Putin is remembered as the modern day Hitler.

But doesn't end the same way.
I want the satisfaction of watching that prick hang.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The word "Hitler" is so easily thrown around these days. Putin is a ruthless autocrat, but he's no Hitler. Hitler planned the industrial genocide of people, just because they were born into a certain group of people. Jews, or Sinti and Roma. Putin is a war criminal, but so far, there are no indications of taking the same path.
Hitler was a singularity. Not because of the numbers that fell victim to his regime. But because, his regime put all the technological and logistical ressources of an industrial country to work towards genocide.
It's sad, that a Holocaust survivor died, but they're just one in thousands, who had to die in a needless war so far.

Thank you. People really need to stop with the 'So-and-so is like Hitler.' You know who was like Hitler? Hitler!!

You can liken him to cerise clafoutis for all of me, doesn’t make it an apt comparison.
