Holocaust Remembrance Day

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” (George Santayana). I recall seeing this quote for the first time at Dachau Concentration Camp in 2004. I also recall the guide telling us that only 32,000 people were exterminated, compared to the more than 1.1 million people murdered at Auschwitz. And, finally, I will never forget my reaction, after stepping into a gas chamber and seeing an oven, that one life dehumanized and destroyed is too many. I honor those who died, suffered or lost loved ones in one of the most despicable and heinous examples of terrorism and “man’s inhumanity to man” in human history. I will always remember!
