THEY CAME

Interesantno je to kako se neke stvari i dogadjaji slazu u mozaik same po sebi, bez naseg uticaja.

Ovih dana se razvila diskusija o ljudima i dogadjajima u Banjaluci za vrijeme ovog zadnjeg rata. Dosta je toga napisano. Pale su teske a ponekad i ruzne rijeci. Prica nije zavrsena i jos dugo se to nece desiti.

Setajuci Bostonom dan poslije vjencanja, a ‘ubijajuci’ vrijeme do leta ‘kuci’ u Pittsburgh, naidjoh na lijepi mali park posvecen holokoustu. Mnogo se toga tu moze nauciti o jednom od najmracnijih perioda u historiji Evrope, za koje su svi vjerovali da se vise ne moze ponoviti. Bar ne u Evropi.

U park udjoh sa njegove ‘zadnje strane’ i za oko mi zapadose rijeci uklesane u mramornu plocu:

“THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Communist.

THAN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Jaw.

THAN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t trade unionist.

THAN THEY CAME for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.

THAN THEY CAME for me,
and by that time no one was to speak up.”

Svaka slicnost s ljudima i dogadjajima nije slucajna.
