      @@kerry8248 it means that the survivors of the Holocaust have gotten older and in the next 5-10 years, give or take a few, they won’t be alive anymore to tell their story. However, hopefully their stories have been and will continue to be passed down to their kids, grandkids and their future kids, and so on. It just wouldn’t be the same as talking to the survivors themselves. There’s just no comparison really. I still remember the man that I talked to over 20 years ago and he was the only survivor of his family. He was just 6 years old when he was taken to the camps.

      History did repeats itself since the end of the WWII. many genocides across the globe.

      People who say it could happen again are obviously delusional
      Despite the phrase "NEVER AGAIN" Ethnic cleansing has continued without opposition since 1945 even in today's world minorities are still being persecuted and murdered
      Or do we accept that unless those being persecuted and murdered number in the millions it doesn't count?
      Religion instead of bringing humanity closer together has driven a wedge between humanity
      The stupidity of the situation is the 3 main religions claim acknowledgement that Abraham is a prophet and they all believe in the same God of Abraham .
      It's like 3 kids arguing over which flavour ice cream is best, at the end of the day it's still ice cream at the heart.
      Christians need to acknowledge that they too have persecuted the Jewish people for 2000 years
      Muslims also have blood on their hands by persecuting anyone not following their doctrine,
      what's even was is they continue to murder those who don't submit to their doctrine .
      I sometimes wonder if perhaps God is actually evil
      After all what creator will allow the mindless violence and not step in to resolve the issue

Or were they charmed, by Hitler, for many years and were happy with what they heard? I've also heard stories about Germans being threatened too. It started and progressed for years !! How can there be any validation for such Evil??

      The construction of 4 large gas chambers and crematoria began in Birkenau in 1942. They went into operation between March 22 and June 25-26, 1943. The gas chambers at crematoria II and III, like the undressing rooms, were located underground, while those at crematoria IV and V stood at ground level.

    My high school teacher (11th grade) back in 1982 taught us about the Holocaust. I took my 21 year-old son to the Holocaust museum a couple years ago. There were hundreds of people there. It was completely silent. No one spoke as we all shuffled through looking at the historical records. I've never witnessed such a huge group of people walking as quietly as possible, each cognizant of the others around them. It was as though the entire museum was a sacred place. When we got to the hall of remembrance, where people went at the end to contemplate and honor one or the millions who were murdered, the room was less for remembrance than it was a place of emptiness and sadness. There was no relief offered by this place. My son and I left. While there, I felt much older than my age of 54 (at that time) and my wonderful son held his arm stiff and strong for me to hold onto. Part of the horror for me was showing him what I guessed he'd only been introduced to in high school. As we silently looked at and read each display, I saw the sadness and horror on his face. My son and I went on a long walk together every night after dinner for years throughout his early to late childhood. We still go on long walks. Many times he told me about school, his thoughts, plans, hopes. After the long walk through the museum I saw a change in him. He became more conscious of how his behavior effects others. He calls me sometimes to say he loves me.

      Jesus in the Torah: written 800 years before his existence
      Isaiah 53
      1Who has believed our message
      and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
      2He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
      and like a root out of dry ground.
      He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
      nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
      3He was despised and rejected by mankind,
      a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
      Like one from whom people hide their faces
      he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
      4Surely he took up our pain
      and bore our suffering,
      yet we considered him punished by God,
      stricken by him, and afflicted.
      5But he was pierced for our transgressions,
      he was crushed for our iniquities;
      the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
      and by his wounds we are healed.
      6We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
      each of us has turned to our own way;
      and the Lord has laid on him
      the iniquity of us all.
      7He was oppressed and afflicted,
      yet he did not open his mouth;
      he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
      and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
      so he did not open his mouth.
      8By oppression a and judgment he was taken away.
      Yet who of his generation protested?
      For he was cut off from the land of the living;
      for the transgression of my people he was punished. b
      9He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
      and with the rich in his death,
      though he had done no violence,
      nor was any deceit in his mouth.
      10Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
      and though the Lord makes c his life an offering for sin,
      he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
      and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
      11After he has suffered,
      he will see the light of life d and be satisfied e ;
      by his knowledge f my righteous servant will justify many,
      and he will bear their iniquities.
      12Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, g
      and he will divide the spoils with the strong, h
      because he poured out his life unto death,
      and was numbered with the transgressors.
      For he bore the sin of many,
      and made intercession for the transgressors.

My grandpa died in a Gulag because of the Soviets and most the Western World does not know about the evils of communism as they do about nazism. Also, Chienese government does this with the Uygurs now and North Korea also has death camps.

After the Nazis, 45 years of communism came to Hungary and Eastern Europe and my grandparents spent most of their adult life under the Communist regime. However we were a bit luckier than the other countries, because after the 1956 revolution against the Soviets and Rákosi's death, it became less dangerous, more like socialism-so my parents generation didn't have to be afraid of hard dictatorshp. (But for Example, Romanians weren't that lucky) Nowadays of course we aren't as rich as the Western countries but we have come a long way after 1989.

It was just awful hearing abt this women experience. One part of the story that I will never forget was she was running from a nazi soldier. they hit her in the back of the head with the bottom of a rifle (or musket idk what the gun is call) She was knocked out but survived. Turns out the soldiers actually came back just to make sure she was dead. After hearing her story i was so grateful that she was still alive today. When i met her she was 92.

Mass hypnosis among his people allowed him to do what he did. While most people stayed delusional for the illogical narratives.
