Well, you know it is easy to relegate that particular period to the back of our minds, given what was happening and the scale of it all; I mean who wouldn't care to turn away from the truths about the children, about the experiments and in general all who passed through there...and who can really get an idea of 10,000 people being killed per day anyway, for a period of months and years. Just incomprehensible to most of us here.

It was even evoked as an 'embarassing time' because of the length of time it took realise what was going on there, and then to make a decision not to bomb the crematoria or the railway line. Who was it?..President Bush who mentioned it just a few months ago, so it still brings up as yet unresolved feelings of one kind or another.

But it shouldn't mean we bury it either. I learned a thing or two about those times, things that I didn't know but am glad I did no matter how unpleasant. For example, the "Righteous"...there's a post here from someone whose family was approached by a person they had harboured from the Germans in Southern France, and people who became 'Les Justes de France' or French Righteous. Even that is kept realtively quiet, hush-hush...

Anyway, I was reading 'Liberator's" post every day reminding what went on this day in History. But no mention there either. So agreed thanks SS for keeping this out there for us all to reflect upon.
