As much as some the world would like to see this historic period erased from memory, we cannot. How do we erase the memory of entire family lines eradicated? How do we erase the memory of numbered tattoos on the arms of the survivors? Soon, those tattoos will turn to dust with the few that remain to tell the tale, but the atrocities visited upon the Jews will live on as if in the genetic memory of the people. The rest of us must also remember that, there but for the grace of God, could be us. When will the next insane, tyrannical, group of psychopaths come for the Muslims, the Christian, or the atheists? Are we to forget history as ISIS beheads, burns, rapes, and murders men, women and children?
