b. 1937; d. 1943
(The little girl in the Warsaw Ghetto photo)
After 17 centuries of poisoning the masses of Europe against the isolated and politically powerless Jews, the Roman Catholic Church’s unrelenting and insidious demonizations and dehumanizations of the Jews, laced with incendiary Passion Saga incarnations, had finally reached ‘critical mass’ at the hands of the grandmasters of hate, the Nazis.
Author’s note: The Vatican may feel it has some unique mandate from Heaven to demonize a powerless and miniscule minority group when it is intermittently politically convenient for the Church to do so, to play “silent partner” in the meat–grinder it put the Jews through for 19 centuries; however, respectfully, we have not seen this celestial moral exemption.
As a singular example of just one of the millions of victims of this centuries old Vatican– gambit, focus, perhaps through a time lens into the Majdanek (Poland) Death Camp Gas Chamber in December 1943…focus on just one single quite young person…
[The individual, the locations and the dates are real and accurate; the particulars of the death–scene details are a composite]
Focus on a now quite alone in the world, terrified Jewish six–year–old girl, brown–haired, blue–eyed, Hanka Lamet—originally of an upper–middle–class cosmopolitan Warsaw, Poland household, complete with Friday Night Sabbath white linen on the polished wood dining table and silver candlesticks holding the lit Sabbath Candles….22 months prior pulled–out of her nursery playgroup.
At that point, 22 months ago, together she had two fine parents, one older brother and one younger sister.
Now, 22 months later, late in 1944, she is quite, quite alone—and quite terrified. After a nightmare, five–hour wretched Death Train freight–car “horror ride” packed with 310 other former members of Jewish society jammed into the same Nazi freight car, with basically no food or sanitation, a noxious, catastrophic, hellish death ride. Hanka Lamet is now on the final stages of a torture–vector to hell.
“Greeted” at 3 A.M. in the 0 degrees centigrade cold, upon the sliding–open of the freight–car doors at the Majdanek Death Camp fright–train disgorgement platform, by howling German Shepherds and Nazi Storm Trooper hand searchlights, Hanka Lamet has now entered the epicenter of a parallel universe – the “Universe of Nazi Torture–Death.”
Her siblings are missing; her parents are dead from the train “ride.” All Hanka has, clutched in her left hand, is her dad’s small silver pocket–watch, which she salvaged from his suit–pocket as he died in the horror–carnage inside the freight train. Coated in grime, among other severe humiliations, Hanka Lamet is now forced by Nazi Storm Troopers first into transport trucks and then, into a huge cement–block building to disrobe the remnants of her now human–soiled clothes… Then she is “ushered” by guards into a 250–person freezing “shower room”; but the foul–smelling heavy disinfectant coating all–around makes it clear that this is, after all, the notorious Nazi Gas Chamber, no longer a surreal nightmare, but a real and heavily noxious Nightmare.
Parents dead, siblings gone, dignity gone. All hope now gone. Spirit destroyed. Naked and alone and desperately clutching her father’s small silver pocket–watch. Shivering. Humiliated. Starving. Alone.
Alone….among hundreds of other terrified and trembling still barely alive females.
Now, all painfully, quite slowly and quite horribly asphyxiating to death on the hydrogen cyanide gas from the Zyklon B pellets being dropped–into the ‘shower’ chamber. Surrounded by hundreds of frantic, screaming, vomiting and terrified other girls and their naked trembling mothers and aunts…the dead and the dying now piling–up on each other’s agonizing bodies in their death throes….actually creating a writhing pile–up of the dead and the near–dead – against the bolted metal door….. as brown–haired seven–year–old Hanka Lamet left hand finally releases its desperate grip, and drops the silver pocket–watch onto the concrete floor, Hanka’s blue veins slowly start exploding—and her lungs convulsing—in December 1943 in the Majdanek’s Gas Chamber… Seven–year–old trembling Hanka, at this moment in time, gasping–now for her very final breaths, surrounded by the purplish–now, screaming near–dead, may have at this point in time somewhat failed to discern the Church’s immortal moral grandeur…and failed to appreciate all the very fancy–footwork of the very fancy Greek prose in the gospel–truth heavily politicized, “let’s demonize the Jews” Passion Sagas which poisoned—while it entertained—the masses of Europe, and demonized its Jews for centuries ongoing.
