“Does it have a meaning? ” <br />they ask. He answers them with gall. <br />“I hope it doesn’t, but it will occur again, <br />and you will see once more what happened then, <br />as surely as the leaves that fall <br />when browning follows greening. <br />Men are like trees, the Bible says, <br />doomed sans divine majestic lèse.” <br /> <br /> <br />Richard Eder reviews 'Preempting the Holocaust, ' by Lawrence L. Langer (Yale University Press) in a book review in the LA Times (November 22,1998) . He quotes Raul Hilberg who, when asked whether the Holocaust had any meaning, answered: “I hope not.” <br /> <br /> <br />11/22/98 <br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/does-it-haae-a-meaning/
