The first time I remember hearing about the Holocaust I was in grade school. The music teacher, talked about a man who was in charge and didn't like anyone who didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes. Since I had blue eyes it didn't scare me.
I went home and asked my mother about it and she explained more about Hitler and what it would have meant to our family because we were Jewish. This started a fascination with the Holocaust that grew as I met survivors.
Most of the survivors I met have joined their families in the afterlife. The full-throated NEVER AGAIN has diminished to Never Again and soon will diminish further as we lose the survivors to history.
I have been told that those who lived through World War II have been very concerned about the rise of Donald Trump. It brings back many memories for them. A man who panders to the worst of people and allows--no--encourages violence at his rallies helps the World War II comparisons.
So what can we do?
Do you know someone who isn't registered to vote--help them to register today.
See how you can help the congressional and Senate races. If you can't get behind Hillary Clinton, find someone who you can behind.
Don't forget.
Don't forget that Hitler came to power because good people did nothing.
Don't forget that Hitler came to power because people did not take his Jew-hating talk seriously.
Don't forget that Hitler caused a lot of problems before he was stopped.
Don't forget!
