Chez Larissa

I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep in Vienna, and say: “Come with me, Milena. We are going to love each other without scruples or fear or restraint. Because the world is ending tomorrow.” Perhaps we don’t love unreasonably because we think we have time, or have to reckon with time. But what if we don't have time? Or what if time, as we know it, is irrelevant? Ah, if only the world were ending tomorrow. We could help each other very much.

And GFM initial comments are pissing me off SO hard.

Like. EVERY prejudice the Nazis exuded was ROOTED in Jew hatred.

Communists? The fault of Jews.

Queer people? The fault of Jews.

Disabled people? The fault of Jews.

People of color existing in Germany? The fault of Jews.

ALSO. To GFM's original "point": Jews were killed en masse after the Shoah.

Farhud: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-farhud

And lets not forget the Holocaust survivors killed in the past two years. The survivor attacked during the Boulder, Colorado firebombing. Or the survivor who also survived Oct 7. Or the fact that at least one Holocaust survivor was among the victims of the Bondi Beach pogrom.

And here is the most devastating fact of Frank’s posthumous success, which leaves her real experience forever hidden: we know what she would have said, because other people have said it, and we don’t want to hear it.

The line most often quoted from Frank’s diary are her famous words, “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” These words are “inspiring,” by which we mean that they flatter us. They make us feel forgiven for those lapses of our civilization that allow for piles of murdered girls—and if those words came from a murdered girl, well, then, we must be absolved, because they must be true. That gift of grace and absolution from a murdered Jew (exactly the gift that lies at the heart of Christianity) is what millions of people are so eager to find in Frank’s hiding place, in her writings, in her “legacy.” It is far more gratifying to believe that an innocent dead girl has offered us grace than to recognize the obvious: Frank wrote about people being “truly good at heart” before meeting people who weren’t. Three weeks after writing those words, she met people who weren’t.
