ntsf I am sorry about your MIL. Like others have already said, I am glad that your DH got there in time to see her, and that she didn't linger. I think that is why the current resurgence of the far right has so many people concerned. There are still people alive who remember WWII, and I personally know people who grew up in the former east. Nostalgia for the past is common these days, but how anyone can think that 1930s Germany is something to look back on positively is beyond my comprehension. Very soon there won't be any people left who were alive during WWII. The thing that worries me about that, is that with distance of time, people lose the understanding of just how bad it was back then. I am glad that so many people turned out to the protest. DSO requested spaghetti bolognese for dinner. I was happy because it's quick and easy, but honestly, it doesn't really thrill me to eat it. I was going to make something different for myself, but I just couldn't be bothered.

Steven Spielberg is in charge of the Ha'Shoah Project, the Holocaust memorial project. He has tried to document the stories of every living survivor and witness of the concentration camps. We need to show these videos in public school.
We need to focus more on teaching about the Holocaust and the Japanese American internment camps during WWII. My ds has some of his paternal grandparent's documentation from their internment camps hanging on his classroom wall. Genocide occurs all over the world. The holocaust was one huge event. When will humanity learn? Sorry, I get a bit emotional about this stuff. Having grown up in a very anti-semetic community w/a big neo nazi presence I faced a lot of hatred, just because of who I was was. I'm pleased that there is a huge anti-neo-nazi presence in Germany.
