'Miss Holocaust Survivor' pageant held in Israel

quote [ A controversial beauty pageant for survivors of the Holocaust has been held in Israel amid accusations that the event is 'offensive' and 'macabre'.

Fourteen women, with ages ranging between 74 and 97 - each of whom survived the horrors of World War II - were vying for the honour of being Israel's first 'Miss Holocaust Survivor.' ]

I think if you survived the Holocaust, you get a free pass to do whatever the fuck you want. Let them have their fun, FFS.

No gypsies or Jehovah's Witnesses?

no one cares about them

Most of the gypsies didn't survive. And the Jehovah's Witnesses were most often taken as adults. If you were 20 in 1945 you'd be 87 now, in order to qualify for this you'd have to have been quite young. There are, for example, no survivor pink triangle wearers, partly because they were prioritised for medical experiments, but also because that group wasn't targeted when they were children.

There probably aren't many JW's living in Israel, either :)

Just felt like somebody should stick up for the six million Gentiles.

Yeah. They do often get lost in the horror of it all.

Why is macabre bad, again?

Its pronunciation angers up the blood.

Hopefully never.

Your mother is technically eligible by age, right? But she was on the wrong side of the holocaust, so I don't think she has a chance of winning.

Why?

It would eliminate the great black-and-white moral source that war-worship requires.

...and the tax breaks?

Dammit, not even a picture of the swimsuit competition. What kind of fucked up beauty contest is this?

until recently I didn't know that JB's end speech was unscripted and one-take

“To forget a Holocaust is to kill twice”

― Elie Wiesel

papango said @ 9:29pm GMT on 30th Jun
Sure. But who remembers the people killed by the Mongol invasion of everywhere their horses would carry them. Or the Armenians. Or even Rawanda. And Wiesel himself doesn't seem all that interested in the millions of Ukrainains deliberately starved to death by the Soviets, and then the Nazis, and then the Soviets again.

We are pretty comfortable with killing twice.

Esthetically, Stewardesses Stripped may be better.
