@BenRossTransit i think whatever your reaction to this detail or that in the piece, the author is correct that the current conflict has put an end to the era during which the shoah will serve as a universal moral touchstone. it remains a horror, unjustifiable and unforgivable and astonishing in its technical modernity, sure. but it can no longer stand out of time, it becomes horror and atrocity yet again enmeshed in the matrix of horror and atrocity that is all of human history. 2/
