Hello one and all,
I got this today and am still stunned by it:
Coming on the heels of the December 2, 2004
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) televised poll which revealed that
nearly half of Britons had never heard of the Nazi concentration camp of
Auschwitz, a Jewish organization in Florida has released a study demonstrating
63% of a typical United States city could not identify the infamous Polish
concentration camp. www.isfsp.org/study.html.
It even brought to mind several other atrocities that
should never be forgotten; the Pol Pot Regime in Cambodia, Tianamen Square in
China, Stalin's barbarity(thanks Slade). In a personal conversation Slade
said that the prevalant attitude was something like this," Well it's not
my people, so what?" And I have to agree with his assesment, that is
what seems to be the attitude. I am disturbed that we as a people (I
don't necessarily mean us on TT), as mankind can be so insensitive and
uncaring. In one, two or three generations we seem to want to forget what we
as human beings wish had never happened. It's a disgusting human
trait.
