Holocaust in 'Bawal': Jews Threaten Film Boycott

Tags: jews hitler film


- Jewish organizations in Israel were outraged for the film's misrepresentation of the massacre of Jews

- Memories of what Jews suffered before and during World War II are shocking. It was the height of perversion that Hitler ordered the extermination of the Jews, blaming them for Germany's woes and problems, including unemployment. In Auschwitz, there were 40 concentration camps in which 1.3 million Jews were kept together. Auschwitz is very important to Jews as 1.1 million Jews were killed in Auschwitz alone. It cannot be compared to the normal quarrels of married life. Hitler was also a brutal killer and cannot be compared to a greedy man.

The relations between India and Israel are good, but because of the Bollywood Film 'Bawal', there has been an uproar in Israel. Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's film 'Bawal' has angered Jewish organizations in Israel for misrepresenting the Holocaust. These organizations allege that the movie 'Bawal' wrongly portrays the Holocaust in a very insensitive manner and trivializes the most shameful event in world history. These organizations have demanded the ban of the film in Israel but have also asked Amazon Prime to remove the film from the OTT platform. If Amazon does not accept this demand, it has been threatened that Jews will boycott not only in Israel but all over the world.

The Embassy of Israel in India has also issued a statement urging Indians to respect Jews and be considerate of their feelings. The Israeli Embassy has tweeted that the Israeli Embassy is disturbed by the trivialization of the importance of the Holocaust in the film 'Bawal'. Some words are used very wrongly in the film. There is no malice behind it, but it is necessary to know the horror of the Holocaust.

Israeli people or embassies also generally refrain from taking an aggressive stance in matters related to India or Indians. Rather, it is important to know what happened on the issue of Holocaust while maintaining friendship with India, that the sentiments of the Jews were tainted.

In 'Bawal', Varun Dhawan is a high school history teacher while Janhvi Kapoor is his wife. The two go on a tour of Europe visiting World War II sites. The largest of the extermination camps Hitler built was in Auschwitz, Poland. A maximum of 1.1 million Jews were killed in Auschwitz.

During World War II, a Jewish girl named Anne Frank wrote a diary. The anguish of the Jewish families hiding to escape from Hitler's Nazis is expressed in this diary. Varun and Janvi also visit the Auschwitz camp and Frank's house in Amsterdam in the film. At that time, there are some dialogues comparing marital conflict with Auschwitz and greedy people with Hitler. There are also scenes of Varun-Janvi walking around the Nazi camp wearing striped lehengas. The Jews say that millions of Jews were killed in Auschwitz by trivializing the event with marital strife.

This feeling of the Jews is understandable because the memories of what the Jews suffered before and during the Second World War are haunting. There have been very few instances in the history of the world when a ruler has sought to exterminate an entire religion. It was the height of perversion that Hitler ordered the extermination of the Jews, blaming them for Germany's woes and problems, including unemployment.

Hitler locked Jews in camps and made them work. All the inhuman atrocities committed against them are bitter memories for the Jews. Camps, including Auschwitz, are symbols of bitter memories. In Auschwitz, there were 40 concentration camps in which 1.3 million Jews were kept together.

Auschwitz is very important to Jews as 1.1 million Jews were killed in Auschwitz alone. It cannot be compared to the normal quarrels of married life. Hitler was also a brutal killer and cannot be compared to a greedy man.

It is a story of bravery that the Jews survived that time and also sustained their religion. For this, the Jews are to be commended, to make it a joke in the movie 'Bawal' is insensitivity.

The makers of the film 'Bawal' are not aware of the history or the sentiments of the Jews, so they took this issue lightly, but now realizing the dawn, the makers of the film 'Bawal' should respect the sentiments of the Jews and apologize to them and delete these scenes and dialogues from the film. Due to this, the film will not make any difference, rather the relationship between the two countries will be strengthened due to the sensitivity shown by India towards the people of Israel.

The Israeli Embassy has shown an understanding attitude and avoided blaming the makers of the film 'Bawal'. It has also been said that the use of wrong words for the Holocaust without any kind of aggression is not malicious. In these circumstances, the makers of the film 'Bawal' should also show the same attitude and prove that they really had no bad intentions.

- Why did Hitler hate Jews?

History has it that Hitler had a lot of hatred towards the Jews, but there is disagreement as to why he had this hatred. Various reasons have been given for Hitler's hatred of the Jews, the main reason being Germany's defeat in the First World War.

During the First World War, Germany and Russia were facing each other. After the defeat of Germany in this war, the nations including America-Britain made the Treaty of Versailles which imposed heavy taxes on Germany. This treaty broke Germany's back and economically crippled it. Hitler fought in the First World War as a soldier. Many people, including Hitler, believed that Germany lost the First World War because the Jews betrayed Germany and helped Russia.

Hitler was deeply influenced by antisemitic literature. Native Asian Jews migrated out of Asia to meet the growing influence of first Christianity and then Islam. Being an enterprising and business minded people, the Jews gradually dominated almost all economic fronts. As the Jews grew in influence in Europe as well, the local population hated them. Anti-Jewish literature created to please them is called anti-Semitic literature. Hitler was greatly influenced by a booklet called Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This booklet talked about how the Jews wanted to take over the whole world. Hitler is said to have ordered the extermination of the Jews because he felt this threatened German identity.

- Hitler killed two-thirds of Europe's Jews

The term Holocaust or holocaust is used to refer to the mass extermination of Jews in Europe by German ruler Adolf Hitler during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies executed a well-organized plan to kill more than six million Jews. At that time, the population of Jews in Europe was around 9 million. Two-thirds of them were Jews.

Cruel methods were used to kill Jews, including gas chambers or mass shootings. During Hitler's time almost half of Europe was directly ruled by Germany or had Hitler's puppet rulers. About 35 countries of Europe and East Africa and territories of many large countries came under Hitler's control. Where Hitler ruled, the governments directly massacred and the puppet rulers brutally murdered Jews in search of Hitler's pleasure. About 20 million Jews were made to stand in line and put to mass shootings to instill fear in the Jews. At one point, Hitler ordered the extermination of all Jews in Europe. Few Jews managed to escape.
