I’ve Stopped Talking to God | Music Video by Fido

<p>I’ve stopped Talking to God’ tests faith through exposure to atrocity. 400,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered by the Nazis in just a few weeks in the death camps, and it is estimated that over 2 million people were exterminated in such places in total (many millions more were murdered by SS death squads across the theatre of conflict). The depraved levels of cruelty routinely practiced in these camps would test the faith of many, and the title of this song is a quote taken directly from a death camp survivor when describing her reaction to a particularly despicable act that she witnessed.</p><p>&nbsp;The lyric ‘never to return someday’ describes the reality faced by many holocaust survivors upon liberation in 1945, that they could not return home as their homes no longer existed (or had been appropriated by others) and that the end of the Nazis did not mean the end of antisemitism. We have used the term ‘holy burned’ in the chorus lyric which is the literal translation of ‘holocaust’.</p>
