We witness children left as sole caregivers of their siblings after their parents are killed, Palestinian prisoners stripped naked and handcuffed, amputations with no anesthesia, adults and children lined up and numbered, the bodies of Palestinians discarded after execution by Israeli soldiers.
For many American Jews who grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust, the parallels we see with our ancestors’ own subjugation and dehumanization are undeniable. For many of us, we are yet again compelled to answer the urgent warning of “never again.”
The genocide we are witnessing in Palestine by the Israeli military is yet another outgrowth from the same fascist mechanisms that extinguished the lives of over 6 million Jews during the Nazi Holocaust.
Journalist Masha Gessen’s comparison of Palestinians in Gaza to ghettoized Jews in Nazi Germany holds power not only due to its accuracy, but because any discussion of Jews during the Holocaust inevitably invokes their harrowing fates.

The Warsaw Ghetto uprising is the most well known act of Jewish resistance to the Nazi regime’s fascism. The refusal of Warsaw Jews to accept the violent fate the Nazis prescribed to them, and instead fight back, reminds us all of our duty to resist oppression wherever it is.
