I agree, but I think it's intended to remind us, not them.

I took a class in college called, "The Holocaust" as a history elective. I thought it would be boring or even repetitive. Whoa. They brought in actual Holocaust survivors from all over the state to talk to us and tell their stories.

Most riveting and hair-raising class I ever took!

I remember one guy said that the toilets in the death camp were nothing more than a twenty foot deep steep-walled trench. You had to back up and stick your booty over the edge to take a crap. Worse yet, the guards favorite game was to try to sneak up on you and push you in. If you fell in, there was no way to climb out. You stayed down there in the feces until you died.

The very depths of pure evil.:-2

The website I posted the link to, refers to Darfur, Bosnia and Cambodia, as well as the atrocities committed under the nazis. Evil seems like too small a word to encompass it all

Forget reality. Imagine, just for the hell of it.

What would stop us? What would make the world gasp and turn our hearts to our brothers?

What happened to Kathy Ellens posts???

I was thinking the same thing, Nomad.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
