This is Nota's review of the book "Eternal Treblinka" by Charles Patterson, I rated it 5 stars

#eternaltreblinka #holocaust #theanimalholocaust

This book contains gore, relatable activist backstories, the lowest sins of humanity described from a compassionate side. It has interesting views of God and existence and analyses works of an interesting author which now I want to read, haunting word images about which I will be thinking about.

There’s no hope for us. We vilify and insult the weakest and it’s been continuing since forever, we insult the weaker by comparing them to the weakest and since committing terrible atrocities we are determined to commit more. If we end one war then we humanely continue another, we sleep on the victims forever.

It’s so wild how people do not see connections between all cruelty and somehow compartmentalise it so that it’s all separate. Violence against minorities is wrong and the animals are the biggest minority, people can’t get convinced that they are even the same as us.

If we live in a society which treats its weakest people this badly then how is it strong at all? It’s a ruin, if most people can live with a logic error this big it’s hopeless to think that they are not committing all sorts of other cruelties all the time. They are not even doing the bare minimum.

I am not sure how many meat eaters would dare to read this one, but this feels very supporting to read as a vegan. There’s a bunch of vegan/vegetarian history I knew nothing about in it and I suppose I should go on a journey to find out a lot more. I feel that animal activists books really speak to me in a voice like no other and that I should seek out more from it.

I want to read books by vegans for vegans, it is sickening how many of the books don’t contain the basic moral of not eating the animals. I love that this book exists, I love that at least there are people speaking up about all the pain that animals go through and that they record it. The X-ray vision is real.

Thank you so much for writing it and being a voice for the animals.
