		<description>There has never been and please god there should never be anything that should compare to the holocaust or any reference to good Germans. Madoff is a crook and a despicable human being may he spend his life in jail</description>

		<description>marjorie says:  &quot;“What motivated Madoff?” and “How were people suckered by his impossible.&quot;

Don&#039;t be myopic marjorie, or is it ignorance. People, well to do, and very intelligent people, have been suckered in many ways for centuries. 


What is different here is the scale, but even here it&#039;s not as large as at first thought, then there is the fact that the principles and victims are Jews and some Jews think they are exempt from the laws of human nature. 


It&#039;s absurd. 


Madoff is a crook who belongs in jail and the rest have learned a valuable lesson. To introduce phrases like &quot;good Germans&quot; etc. is absurd.</description>

		<description>Veyizmir. The play sounds really intriguing and thought-provoking. Art gets to ask questions. It&#039;s allusive. No one is saying OOH OOH ELIE WIESEL IS A NAZI. I prefer not to praise or flame a work I haven&#039;t seen, but it seems clear that the questions &quot;What motivated Madoff?&quot; and &quot;How were people suckered by his impossible, contrary-to-all-reason returns?&quot; are fit subjects for theater and musing in general.</description>

		<description>Mark margolis says:   “Dear Toby I am in the play &amp; u do not know what the
he’ll you are talking about.”

Save your hypocritical “dears,” Margolis.


You just another dummy ventriloquist, that’s what actors are. You mouth the words that others wrote and think you know what they mean.

This is what the play is about:

““Margolin’s most disturbing insinuation, as voiced through Madoff—the one, perhaps, that Wiesel found most obscene—is that Galkin’s credulousness mirrors that of the proverbial good Germans, who trusted that a charismatic countryman would not lead them toward catastrophe.”

And you don’t think there are reference to Nazis in the play.</description>

		<description>Looks like Deborah Margolin&#039;s friends have been posting their support here. 

Margolin&#039;s equation of Madoff to a Nazi leader is both obscene and libelous. 



People who approve of this view have lost all sense of decency and need a swift kick in the pants.</description>

		<description>Daniel Klein says: 
 &quot;Jacob, what about Joyce, bukowski, ginsberg and Burroughs?–to name just a few.&quot;


So, you think that obscenity made Joyce a great writer?

Gee, and I thought it was his sublime use of language in all its registers. 

As for the other name on your list, ( I can&#039;t say anything abut the etceteras) with the exception of Ginsberg, who does have some first rate poems which are not due, btw, to his use of obscenity, the other writers are not great and buskowski is a mediocrity.</description>

		<description>“Margolin’s most disturbing insinuation, as voiced through Madoff—the one, perhaps, that Wiesel found most obscene—is that Galkin’s credulousness mirrors that of the proverbial good Germans, who trusted that a charismatic countryman would not lead them toward catastrophe.”

This is a ridiculous and hysterical comparison.


A better comparison would be to those gullible pro leftist Russian bourgeois who gave their wealth to Lenin in order to be spared by his murderous henchmen who proceeded to murder them and rape their wives and daughters. 


How do you like dem apples, Marrisa. Once you begin with specious comparisons there is no end to the possible atrocities you can compare the unimaginative swindler Madoff.

Investigators are now saying that he didn’t take in as much money as they thought. Rather than the supposed sixty billion he only took in around twenty billion. It sounds like a lot but for a financial firm this is peanuts. 


Not Hitler or Lenin should he be compared to, but to some third rate third world dictator like Noriega who also got caught.</description>
