THE PARADOX

A whole generation of Europe has written, read, thought about Holocaust and this has not only created an awareness but a whole generation has remembered the fact that Humanity sometimes takes a holiday from the duty of being human. And also rises forces of history which takes momentous proportion when you find yourself homeless, a whole new Future looms which seems closer and that?s why so distant when Events happen is such a fast forward mode.

The greatest paradox is that we being such a home-loving community, such rooted to our soil, such grounded with the ethos of the place but such deep, such unbelievable forgetfulness. Such a great lapse of memory, such a wonderful epilepsy cannot be explained unless we take into consideration the fact this forgetfulness might have been one of the strongest factor of our survival, physically as well as culturally, it evades all explanations. None of our literature, none of our later stories speak about this cultural discontinuity and this silence, this inexplicable silence may be more resonating than a lingering sadness, orchestrated in prose, poetry or music.
