For those in the area the Boston Holocaust Memorial is humbling to say the least and features this quotation.
This quotation is etched in stone just after the memorial itself which is comprised of six glass towers (one for each of the death camps). The towers are 30' feet tall and represent the chimneys of the crematoria. They are etched from top to bottom with tiny white numbers numbered 0000001 to 6000000: these represent the registration numbers of the Jewish death camp victims (although I personally would have preferred all 11 million victims be represented). Along the path between the towers are quotes and memories from survivors. Very powerful.

The original quotation (which I saw at Yad Voshem in Israel) was from the Holocaust. It still haunts me. First They Came for the Jews First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. Pstor Martin Niem�ller -----Original Message----- There is a saying along the lines of: First they came for group A. I did nothing. Then they came for group B, I did nothing. etc.. Now they are coming for me and there is no one left to fight for me. We need to oppose each and every step. If they target group A, groups B, C etc.. should all fight like hell to protect group A, while they can fight together. Otherwise we shall lose each individual battle until we have lost the war. God Damn its hard not to draw parallels between Bush and Hitler. What is the Hitler rule here anyways? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:135238 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
