Sad comment about our education system and our young. As the Holocaust survivors leave us, there will soon be no one to tell future generations about this sad chapter in history. And it makes it much easier to initiate Holocaust II.

Alfred Gudeman, an American classical scholar of some distinction, author of several books and many articles, died in Theresienstadt in 1942 at the age of 80. He had been living in Germany before WWI and lost his US citizenship during the war. He tried unsuccessfully to get it restored later. He was sent to Theresienstadt because he was Jewish.
