Dark clouds are on the horizon. A new film about the Holocaust, "The Zone of Interest," astonishingly portrays how the capacity for evil may be closer than we would like to countenance.
Excellent article but I wish you had also mentioned what is currently happening to millions in Gaza and our failure to stop it. What happened on October 7 last year was a huge tragedy. But how could anyone explain that one of the World's best army and intelligence did not know about it and let those murderers kill innocent people and abduct 250 men, women and children for about 8 hours and did nothing to stop it.
A thoughtful treatment of the subject of evil. I assume you saw the film in a movie theater. I hope it will be more broadly available on a streaming platform.
Thanks, Joe. A very important subject! But I want to suggest 3 movies that belong alongside Schindler’s List: Sophie’s Choice, The Pianist and especially Europa, Europa. Now I have to see Zone of Interest.

Excellent article, Joe on a difficult topic.
