[Alan Kaufman]

>>>>>>Your history has condemned you to see ghosts everywhere.

I relish this statement of yours and choose to respond only to it because at its essence is precisely one of the problems with our culture. Per this, the Holocaust is my history but not your history. The suffering of others does not pertain to you.

But my history is going to become your history.

And when it does, you'll remember that a couple of nutty writers, like that Jewish guy Alan Kaufman and that Native American Sherman Alexie, tried to warn you.

Because our histories are your histories: you just don't know it yet. And that is the lesson, I guess, that you will have to learn, unfortunately, in a manner that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.

Bon chance!
