We reacted to the Nazi horrors by trying to convince ourselves, and the rest of the world, that the Holocaust was a crime against humanity instead of a battle in the ancient war to destroy the Jewish people.

It wasn’t the German people who were responsible for the Nazis, we liked to think.

But like the Germans who cheered on or remained silent about the Nazi genocide, Palestinian Arabs and their supporters around the world are today doing the same with respect to Hamas.

“Never Again” is unconditional, our pledge to fight any reemergence of the beast.

And the beast has returned.

Political cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., made aliyah to Israel in 1971 and began drawing “Dry Bones” in January 1973. The internationally syndicated, award-winning cartoons ran in The Jerusalem Post for 50 years. They were reprinted in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, TIME and other mainstream media publications. The “Dry Bones” story has been covered by CBS, CNN and Forbes, among other outlets. He was a member of America’s National Cartoonists Society and the Israeli Cartoonists Society. Kirschen died at 87 on April 14, 2025.
