I still remember growing up with “Never again.”
The world should never forget what happened to the Jews in World War II. Those who don’t know history is bound to repeat it. History teaches us how to avoid the same scenerios.
History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. Sometimes people say, “Here is something new!” But actually it is old; nothing is ever truly new. (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)
I wonder about those who think they have to ‘fix’ the problems of the world, usually without any true understanding of the real problem. If only we could convince people that Jordan Peterson is right: Is YOUR room clean?!
Elites, & anyone with power, need to understand that the world isn’t theirs to change or correct. In this world, each individual is supposed to deal with themselves. If that happened so much cruelty, pain & heartache would be avoided.
Effectively, Germany’s choices in the early 30’s were either Communism or National Socialism. I wonder how Communism would have worked out.
How about for its 80th anniversary Israel builds a memorial to the American troops that liberated Auschwitz. Never Forget!
