Yep - I know. And those that stopped it are also quickly passing on. My dad was in the war and died years ago. My mom just passed away last fall. My daughter wanted to interview her on what she recalled of the Holocaust. My mom said that she recalls hearing a bit about it at the time, but it didn’t make big news back then. My mom said my daughter knew more about it than she did!

Years ago I had a foster daughter that needed to interview someone in WWII. My neighbor across the street had been in D-Day. The kid sat in rapt attention for over 1/2 hour.

She went back home and he and I kept talking. He told me that there was a lot of stuff he couldn't tell her and even more he could not talk about ever.

I never pressed the issue because I had seen that same look in my fathers eyes when he talked about the Korean war.

I often wonder if our Country still has the character to pull together to put down an oppressive tyrant like that again.
