Okay - breaking the "ignore" rule here...

dammit! DON'T speak for me, "Guest"!

Just because there have been no responses doesn't mean no interest or thoughts provoked by a posting. In particular *I* know I was grateful for this, as I did not know until now there was any formal recognition such as Yom HaShoah. 60 years is still within the lifespan of many people alive today. Just because it happened 60 years ago, is that any reason to foget the atrocities that were committed?
