Overcoming nihilism – The Catholic Thing

Shoah is the Hebrew word for catastrophic ruin and unmitigated disaster. Shoah is also a biblical term used to refer to the Holocaust, and Auschwitz can be understood as a condensed symbol of the many catastrophes that led up to the death camps, which, in turn, is a cause of the nihilism that followed WWII, and from which came the ‘open society’ and the ‘peace movement’: If nothing is worth fighting for, nobody will fight.
