With all due respect, this is not a show that I want to see something so heavy on. It's a Sunday night, mindless, trashy reality show!
Come on!
Siggy does not belong on this show. Her scenes are BORING! Not only that, but that Delores has the exact same needy mother storyline!
Go away.
I'd rather have Danielle Staub. Seriously no joke.
...and how long have they lived there to wait this long? Idiotic! This would be like me living in Amsterdam for 10 years and when someone visiting, then take them to "Ann Frank House" because I'd never been there!

Agree!! Siggy's kids are teenagers and she is just now teaching their family history?! I thought Siggy would keep things honest and real on the show, but she may be the phoniest of all of them.
Super disappointing.
Siggy needs a punch in the face. I hate how she, who has nothing herself to do with the actual Holocaust, was so flippant about her parents being survivor. BISH, they didn't survive because they karate chopped Nazi. They survived on pure luck. Her parents who lived through it are humbler than her.
shareIt was so boring. The oversaturation of the Holocaust on TV shows is getting annoying. It's also super triggering for the survivors who are alive.

One more thing, and maybe Siggy did not mean it the way it sounded to me. She said something about the importance of her children learning their Jewish history. Well, there is SO much more to Jewish history than the Holocaust. That is the particularly horrible part. Is she also teaching them about the great Jewish composers (Mahler), scientists (we all know who), writers, teachers, leaders etc??? To me it sounded a little strange, but it might just be me.
A simple mind is a tidy mind.
I think that is an excellent point. I try to teach African-American children that though we are descendants of slaves, our people were not slaves before being brought here. They, too, were teachers, chiefs, doctors, lawyers, kings, queens, ministers, builders, scientists, musicians and much more. Being kidnapped doesn't mean you weren't amazing.

That is excellent that you do that, Ysis! You are teaching the right things to those students. Keep up the good work!

Ysis, that is wonderful- I love that you do that !!

shareOversaturation of the Holocaust? How would that be possible? Each generation must be taught what was done to more than six million people during the worst of our history. Countries the world over stood by and did nothing to stop that madman and his soldiers. The horrors can never be contained in one TV show, or a single book.
Boring? I'll bet a lot of folks are still eager to know what became of their beloved family members. I am certain they would never call it boring. I am not Jewish and to my knowledge I didn't lose a relative in the Holocaust. Stil I pray for the souls of those men, women and children who were led to their cruel and untimely deaths.
A lot of folks get in touch with their family hustory, or learn more about their faith as they grow older. NATURALLY they want to share with others, especially their children.
Perhaps one doesn't find RHONJ the proper forum for discussion of the Holocaust. It's supposed to be reality TV. What is more real than this? One could have changed the channel or fast forwarded the DVR.
Wow. I am astonished that anyone would diminish the impact and the tragedy of the Holocaust by calling it boring or oversaturated.

DarlaKDavis I agree that calling the holocaust "boring" is pretty out there. Uh, nothing could be less boring, or disturbing. It's well documented, and should be. Unfortunately there are other horrors that are not so documented and remembered. Cambodia, Russia during and after World War 2, Cultural Revolution in China.....lot's of stuff. Too sad to think about for too long.
Countries the world over stood by and did nothing to stop that madman and his soldiers.
DonutLover, I wasn't writing in reference to individual citizens. The countries' governments knew what was going on. Over time, they were informed about the annihilation of the Jews, and of course others who were decimated by Hitler.
Yes, there are others horrors and atrocities before and after WWII and what Hitler did, but the subject here was the Holocaust and that is what I addressed.
I don't know if I would say the rest of the world was distracted, but they certainly were involved around the globe. Many of Germany's non-Jewish citizens didn't know what was "really" happening to the Jews.
My point, and I do have one, is that many countries closed their borders to Jewish people when they tried to escape the death trains and camps. To close your door to one in such dire need is despicable.

I read the “Keeping It Real” blog on the Jewish Journal. The writer mentioned that Siggy’s father is a renowned Holocaust scholar. Here is a list of the books he’s written which are on Amazon:

I don't know if that has already been mentioned here, but I thought it was pretty interesting.
Thank you for the references. I am no scholar, but I am fairly well read about the Holocaust. I will put your references to use.
