Why do people still deny the Holocaust ever happened
In my "gap year" during university time, I did the world tour thing, ending up living on a kibbutz in Israel, though I'm not Jewish. On the Sabbath, each 'volunteer' was invited to a home of one of the residents. My regular host was an elderly gentleman who had survived one of the camps. He had the number tattooed on his arm. He was a delightful fellow. We never spoke of his experience, but other folks on the kibbutz told me he had been neutered as part of an "experiment" while a prisoner in the camp, his manliness removed. That he could be the kind and welcoming host he was, inviting a stupid young American, full of advantages he had never had, was a tribute to his personal strength and goodness. Obviously I knew of the Holocaust long before traveling to Israel, but I had a front row education as to its gruesome reality. My US girlfriend at that time had a grandad who was among the first troops into Dachau, and he could barely speak of what he saw. Many things make the Holocaust terrible, the scale being one, but the brutality and evil that came from what was perhaps the most technologically advanced society at that time is what led Hannah Arendt to coin the phrase 'the banality of evil'. Maybe one can rationalize or understand (tough to come up with the proper term) such terror taking place in a relatively primitive society---maybe---but for it to come from 1930-40s Germany is incomprehensible. Are we all so susceptible to madness and savagery, needing only a particular set of circumstances (hyperinflation of 1921) and a character whose charisma I can never understand? Sadly, I see that incomprehensible "charisma" again today, and an ease where folks drift into irrational hatred of "others". Some complain we are too often reminded of what happened, with a string of movies and "Remembrance Days". Well, a people who lost half of their ethnic group are understandably and righteously driven to remind us of what happened, and what can happen again. The Holocaust is the most egregious example of the blackness of the human heart, and we should be continually reminded of what's possible, even in a "civilized" society. -

Transfers
BofA may have different limits for different methods of doing transfers. I suspect the $3500 limit is for transfers using your BofA debit card. You can also fund a WISE transfer using ACH (Automated Clearing House) transfers. There is probably a higher limit on this type of transfer. The cheapest way to get the funds into WISE for a transfer is to do an ACH "push" from your BofA account to your WISE account and then use those funds to transfer to Thailand. WISE has fees for all other funding methods but a "push" transfer from your US bank incurs no WISE fee. I think BofA also has no fee for that type of transfer.
