By Yair Ettinger, Haaretz Correspondent: Son gets Dad's Auschwitz tattoo on own arm
Talkback
Title:Auschwitz tattoo
Name:Jack
City: State:
I am the son of survivors. I will never forget what my parents endured, even if I cannot fully comprehend it. I am sure that if his father felt strongly about it his son would not have done it. No one has the right to decide for him even if I disagree. As far as the use of tattoos in the Torah, it is simply tradition based upon ancient pagan cultures` use of tattoos. It is no different than piercings (mentioned in the Torah)or maybe pierced ears are also forbidden?
