Keeping Outrage Alive
"I have concluded that one way to pay tribute to those we loved who struggled,
resisted and died is to hold on to their vision and their fierce outrage at the
destruction of the ordinary life of their people. It is this outrage we need to keep
alive in our daily life and apply to all situations, whether they involve Jews or non-
Jews. It Is this outrage we must use to fuel our actions and vision whenever we see
any signs of the disruptions of common life: the hysteria of a mother grieving for
the teenager who has been shot, a family stunned in front of a vandalized or
demolished home; a tamily separated, displaced; arbitrary and unjust laws that
demand the closing or opening of shops and schools; humiliation of a people
whose culture is alien and deemed inferior; a people left homeless without
citizenship; a people living under military rule. Because of our experience, we
recognize these evils as obstacles to peace. At those moments of recognition, we
remember the past, feel the outrage that inspired Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto and
allow it to guide us in present struggles.
