"Remember, both of you, that which Amalek did to us; remember everything do not forget for the rest of your lives and pass on as a holy testament to the coming generations that the Germans killed, slaughtered and murdered us..." (from the Testament of Elkhanan Elkes, leader of the Kovno Jewish Council)
I think it is a tragedy too. Unfortunately many holocaust survivors have passed away, thus leaving many to believe the holocaust to be a "dead issue". It is extremely important for people to pay more attention to what happened so repeats/potential repeats will never happen again. The term "genocide," which did not exist before 1944, is very specific , referring to massive crimes committed against groups. This was not recognized as being a serious problem. Today, we are able to recognize genocide when it occurs. Also, offenders of war crimes were punished as a result of the Holocaust. Between 1945 and 1946, was the first time that international tribunals were used as a post-war mechanism for bringing national leaders to justice. The word “genocide” was included in the indictment, but as a descriptive, not legal, term. This became the start of the international recognition of punishing leaders guilty of genocide.

the actuality is, maximum Holocaust survivors are lengthy gone or very old. those ruling the international places of on the prompt were typically no longer even born for the time of international warfare II. President Obama changed into born in 1961, operating example. I surely have a tremendous kind of sympathy for Holocaust victims, notwithstanding that is like American slavery, modern day people, no count number what their ancestors suffered have not been slaves interior the US. those those who help Israel and those who do not, might want to understand the acceptable component can be a 2 state answer. certain, some biblical Christians say Israel might want to no longer be divided and such issues as that, notwithstanding the acceptable component for peace (and "Blessed are the Peacemakers") may be if both communities ought to stay area by using area with some style of peace. The Israelis and under no circumstances all accurate or all incorrect, the Palestinians aren't to any extent further all accurate or all incorrect.

The jew-controlled media has covered the holocaust plenty of times, despite the fact that there are plenty of other bad events in history that have not gotten nearly as much attention. It is apparent to me now that you jews use the holocaust in the same way that the africans often use slavery- using it to make their own race look like a victim, so as to establish dominance in the guise of gaining equality.
I have some sympathy for the jews that were killed in the holocaust. I have no sympathy for the modern jews that rehash the holocaust over and over, not to mention the unjust practices committed by the jews in Lebanon and Palestine. It makes me wonder if the holocaust was for the better after all. I say, we should have another holocaust, but this time, we should separate the decent jews out from the dominant-tempered jews that are to be killed, so that it won't really be about racism.

It's true that the Holocaust was a sad time in history, but that's exactly it- it's history. There's nothing anyone can do to change what happened in the past and those who choose to remember it can mourn in private. The media is mostly for current events and there are documentaries about it, plus, it's mentioned in history classes. Jews today need no sympathy and attention over it because it's history now, in the past, you're not having to face it now.

The Holocaust was a huge tragedy but what about the fact that the Japanese killed 20 MILLION Chinese? That's over 3 times the amount of people killed in the Holocaust. Most people don't even know about this and it isn't even taught in Japanese schools. There are also other numerous genicide tragedies like these that aren't even taught anymore...The world is soon gonna just be a battle of the fittest.

It was truly a sad time in history. A time that should not be forgotten and so awful that most do not want to remember it. So therefore it is better not to bring the subject up but not let history repeat itself either. It brings shame to many knowing that their ancestors could have done something so vicous and cruel. Never mind the sick joke about the Jews in an ashtray. That clearly shows the narrow-mindedness of some people who have yet to evolve. :)

I do not think that tragedy needs to be publicized. People can mourn in private just as well, if not better. It is possible to be upset about this disaster without bringing it to the attention of the media.

Yea, I'm going to take that as sarcasm.
You have had loads of publicity and attention, you don't need any more. It is in no danger of being forgotten.
The world moves on, what would be the wisdom in hanging over this one issue every day for sixty years, no matter how evil it was.

I think it was a supreme tragedy. I watched a documentary on PBS about it years ago and a lot of footage was shown. I guess people move on and don't want to dwell on the past. I cant believe there are those who say it never happened.

The media broadcasts current events, not old news.
Heres a question for you:
Q. How many jews can you fit in an ashtray?
A. All of them.
