“Sadly in 10 years or so we may not be able to find any of these living memorials to man’s atrocities.”

Sadly, I think they will still be around. Not the Jews from Nazi Germany, but countless other events such as Pol Pot, Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, etc. Although they don’t seem to get the “press” that the Jews get. I’m not sure why.

Perhaps because the survivors aren’t the “right” color. Or perhaps there are so few survivors. Or perhaps because the West let those people down. It is one thing to remember the Jews who we rescued, and another to remember the killing fields in Cambodia which in some part may have been a result of our failed efforts in Vietnam. (Or Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)

Amen, but I was specifically speaking about WWII Holocaust survivors.
