I would go to Sarajevo, June 28th 1914. Would park my horse on Archduke’s path to the assassination, possibly preventing terrible WWs. Nobody would say thank you, but that’s ok.
Doing so would probably erase a majority of frum Jews who are alive today from existence.
Survivors of the Holocaust who moved to Israel and America would probably still be Europe today had the Holocaust not happened. As such, many of the marriages that took place in the post-Holocaust years would not have happened (as these spouses would have never met in the DP camps, America, Israel or wherever else they moved to). Their descendants — their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, would not exist today. They would be replaced with an entirely different population.
Oddly enough, I would probably still be here, as all of my great-grandparents were already in New York City by 1915. However, my wife wouldn’t be here, nor would our children.
I’m not saying, God forbid, that the Holocaust was a good thing. Of course not. But I’m not convinced that undoing it at the expense of millions of lives that currently exist is a moral and proper thing to do either.
