Regardless of religion, ethnicity, or whatever....we should never forget the victims. May their souls rest in peace.

This day was always observed in my house growing up. My father, a victim of the Holocaust lost many family members . I grew up hearing all the stories.

@NicksmomESQ My Grandfather lost his Mom and 2 Siblings in one of the camps.

Such a sad, tragic and unimaginable event/time in the history of the world.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

@NicksmomESQ It would be wonderful if you could write the stories that you heard and share them with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in DC.

These stories should be available for future generations so they know what an incredibly vile and horrific experience so many had to endure.

I was a Leasing Agent for an Apartment Complex about 30 years ago.

I struck up a conversation with an elderly woman who stopped by the Office to get her mail.

She had an accent, so I asked her where she was from....

Anyway, that conversation still sticks with me today, especially when she rolled up her sleeve to show me her "number"...

It's also a reminder that demonizing groups of people can lead to such horrors.

@Mersha Actually, I have .My cousin worked in Washington for the C.I.A. for many years.His wife wrote her dissertation for her doctorate on the Holocaust about 25 years ago. I sat down with her & played her cassette tapes of my father's stories in his own words that he asked me to record.

Copies of the cassettes along with her published dissertation were shared with the Holocaust Museum in D.C. & Yad Vashem in Israel.
