We must be listened to: above and beyond our personal experience, we have collectively witnessed a fundamental unexpected event, fundamental precisely because unexpected, not foreseen by anyone. It happened, therefore it can happen again: this is the core of what we have to say. It can happen, and it can happen everywhere.
~ Primo Levi ~

It is sad Priyasha, but we need to talk about it and make sure people remember. John included a link in his comment to a frightening article that you might want to check out.

I saw this a couple of years ago, I think maybe on PBS. It’s an incredible piece of filmmaking. I believe it won a Peabody and an Emmy award.

It is Fraggle. Especially as Holocaust deniers become more prevalent and as survivors are passing on.

Meanwhile, an alarming number of people believe the Holocaust didn’t happen or that the death toll has been exaggerated, while a non-negligible percentage of those surveyed had never actually heard of it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/27/one-in-20-britons-does-not-believe-holocaust-happened.

Thanks for the link John. That’s frightening. I think as more survivors pass on, the worse this will get unless we all make sure this is never forgotten.
