Remembering the Holocaust

26th April 2006

Milblogger Jason has posted haunting images of the Holocaust and reflected about his role in the US military serving in Iraq. I really don’t think it is possible for people who did not experience the Holocaust to adequately comprehend the magnitude of the suffering and evil which was endured and perpetuated during those years. Tragically, genocides continue. Despite our likely inability to understand fully, we must try to understand. We must struggle to understand. Not only for the dead, but also and even more importantly for the living.

We must continually strive to oppose and fight evil in whatever sphere we find ourselves, whether we are armed with a sword, a gun, or a laptop. We must never forget, and we must struggle to help others “reject the hate,” as Dachau survivor Eva Hance insists.

On this day..
