Retired, I start each day reading – news like the Times – and then take a break with a huge online movie library. Recently I saw The Search (1948), which was about a US soldier, played by Montgomery Clift, help a 9 year old find his mother, in Germany, after Auschwitz split them – the way Trump’s ICE splits families. This parallel was painful, and obvious. Yet in one scene the film shows truck fulls of Auschwitz children going to Israel, since their families were already dead. And that scene implies why this kind of “compassion” is all the more dreadful. What are we creating in the “New South”?
