I'm a very firm believer in George Santayana's statement

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

I also believe it should be expanded to read:

"Those who do not remember--or understand--the past are doomed to repeat it."

Those who revise their history are doomed to repeat it

I can understand somewhat what you're feeling, I was born a German and reading about the Death Camps does the same to me. I could never in a million years understand how people could let that happen.

I agree. I do not agree when it come to digging up those that have gone before but in cases like this the history is available.

All should remember that this nation was born of dreams and tears. We must all acknowledge the bone, flesh and blood that we stand upon. What built this Great Nation of Ours must never be forgotten, never be twisted. To turn from this is to allow our enemies to rip us apart. America is Free and that Freedom must forever be paid for.
