I was astonished by Rivy Poupko Kletenik’s misreading of Paul Greenberg’s intent in his article, “Holocaust Day Again” (“Be quiet? Not a chance!” May 9). To my mind, what he expressed is the very opposite of Kletenik’s claim of his disrespect for remembering the Holocaust. He is telling us that we have reduced the memory to trivial gestures such as giving it a day along the likes of trivial days such as Groundhog Day. I urge Kletenik and the person who wrote to her to complain about Greenberg to re-read his article. If doubts remain, I suggest they communicate with Paul Greenberg directly. I’m sure he would be shocked at being so misinterpreted.
