Silence of the God

The other side of the story to great history is not as pretty as they teach us in grade school. ‘Silence of the God’ by Max Gray is a book filled full of live excerpts from eyewitnesses for the outrageous crimes against humans ever recorded in history. These people had no chance of survival. There are only so many ways to describe babies getting their heads bashed in, women and children raped, men and women having their body parts chopped off and burnt to death.

Max Gray's book may be a little graphic for younger generations, but we learned about all the horrible details of using innocent men, women and children as their scapegoats during the Holocaust. I don't see the difference in America now. Or is the difference just that we must remain the "good guys" and make everyone else look like cold hearted masochists? I comment Max Gray on his book, but I doubt I could ever try and read it again. The images will be forever ingrained in my brain and heart. We are the only species which kills for pleasure or hatred or religion. Those men were the animals which should have been caged up at the zoo. Perhaps they would have killed themselves and saved our history from so much carnage and blood. Hopefully, more generations will start to learn the whole story and things can change, maybe, someday!
