HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY

Post by Zlatko Waterman » April 21st, 2005, 10:22 am

I want to remind everyone of Holocaust Remembrance Day, May 6, 2005.

It commemorates a series of events in which the human species went about as far wrong as it has ever gone.

Here is some background:

This is a human remembrance day. Try to read a little about it and the events it commemorates.

As it says at Auschwitz:


NEVER AGAIN.

yes, this is a yearly occasion in a country where everyone has a relative or distant relative who died in a camp.

We're on Pesach vacation now till May 2 and then schools all over israel will come back to a Holocaust Week.

Our school decided to leave off personal testimonials and get down to the basics - history, social repercussions, ghettos, and the final solution.

It's a horrible part of history - makes the head reel, but no matter how much we read, experience tales or see movies, we can never grasp the reality.

Hope we never have to.

thanks, Z for bringing up the subject.
