From generation to generation

The New York Times has a review by journalist Frankiln Foer of Deborah E. Lipstadt's  "The Eichmann Trial."
Here is an excerpt about world reaction to the kidnapping of the war criminal by the Israelis.

The Washington Post editorial page condemned Israel’s “jungle law”; The Christian Science Monitor equated Israel’s claims to those of the Nazis. William F. Buckley Jr. said the kidnapping was symptomatic of the Jewish “refusal to forgive.”

From generation to generation - some things never change.
While some things do.

In Giving a Haggadah a Makeover a New York Times journalist describes updating the Hagaddah's English translation to today's vernacular. For instance, the word vermin has been changed to lice.
