 | | If we are to commemorate the dead not just as individuals but as fellow citizens, however, we must do so without even the slightest hint of denying or downplaying their individual particularity, as one much-publicized proposal did, to universal and deserved condemnation. | | | As sculptor Nathan Rapoport once put it, it is not adequate to make a Warsaw Ghetto memorial by drilling a hole in a stone and saying, "Voilà, the heroism of the Jewish people." The reality calls for something more profound and direct. | | | To these monument makers, it seemed not to matter who the firemen were who actually did this deed--and by extension it seemed not to matter who the heroic firemen who died in the tragedy actually were. |
