对于曾经发生过针对犹太人暴行的地点，犹太民族应当如何处理呢？是任由其保持原状——破败、焦黑且满目疮痍，以此作为永恒的警示，提醒后人永志不忘？还是彻底清理并重新建设，坚信犹太人的记忆无需借助这种残酷的视觉印记也能保持警醒？
What should the Jewish nation do at a site where barbaric crimes were committed against its people? Keep the place as it is—ugly, burned and battered, a lesson for all time that teaches us never to forget? Or scrub it clean and build afresh, trusting that Jewish memory doesn’t need harsh visual aids to remain vigilant?
在以色列纪念2023年10月7日大屠杀三周年之际，加沙边境附近的基布兹中正展开着关于这些问题的讨论。尽管时间流逝，人们的恐惧与愤怒依然未减。当天，哈马斯恐怖分子从加沙涌入以色列，他们乘坐皮卡、轿车、摩托车、拖拉机甚至滑翔伞。还有不少平民步行随行，共同参与了对以色列民众的屠杀、强奸、绑架与掠夺。
A debate on these questions is taking place at the kibbutzim near the Gaza border as Israel marks three years since the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, its horror and anger undimmed by time. On that day, Hamas terrorists flooded into Israel from Gaza—in pickup trucks and cars, on motorcycles, tractors and paragliders. They were accompanied by civilians on foot, swarming collaborators in the murders, rapes, abductions and thefts committed in Israel.
以色列与加沙的边境共有120处被突破，其中距离加沙仅一英里多的尼尔奥兹基布兹受灾最为严重。这个拥有220栋房屋、400名居民的社区，有四分之一的居民丧生或被绑架，按比例计算，它是受灾最惨重的基布兹。
The Israel-Gaza border was penetrated in 120 different places, but one place—little Nir Oz, a kibbutz of 220 houses and 400 residents just over a mile from Gaza—suffered more than most. A quarter of its residents were killed or kidnapped, making it, proportionally, the worst-hit kibbutz.
