There is no such thing as a neutral account of history. How we mark our history matters. Weâve come, all too often, to confuse neutrality, balance, and objectivity with a lack of emotion. But when we speak of lives lost, land desecrated, and ways of life destroyed, unimpassioned facts cannot adequately convey reality. The German journalist, Kurt Tucholsky said, âThe death of one man: that is a catastrophe. One hundred thousand deaths: that is a statistic,â but can you write that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust without also pointing to the horror of that fact? Can you say that 17 million people were ripped from their homes in Africa and forced into slavery without sadness and anger finding their way into your voice?
