What happened to ‘Don’t worry, be happy?’ The Holocaust.

The following gem has been circulating the web in the past few days. The author, music critic and blogger Guy Hajaj, says he took the pic at a synagogue in Akko. I’d spin some yarn about how it exemplifies Israel going from trying to move on from the Holocaust to being perpetually consumed by it. But the sign speaks for itself, really:

What happened to 'Don't worry, be happy?' The Holocaust.

EVEN IF YOU’RE FEELING REALLY GOOD

REMEMBER THE HOLOCAUST.

-Yaakov

So what happened to “Don’t worry, be happy?” The Holocaust. The Holocaust is what happened.
