Equally true of our own past mistakes/sins.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Slade Henson Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 8:30 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Auschwitz   Fish (whose real name is Derek Dick), from the Progressive Scottish rock group Marillion Derek Dick said it best. "May we never forget so it will never happen again."   If we deny historical fact, we make history our future.   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Powers Sent: Wednesday, 29 December, 2004 19.29 Subject: [TruthTalk] Auschwitz 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.
