Thank you ALL for this incredible support.

Following us should be THE FIRST step. Remember the past but also reflect on our moral responsibility for the world.

Think: "What can I do to make our world a better & safer place."
And start doing it. Now.

I remember seeing this in high school humanities class. It was the most disturbing thing I have ever seen.

It isn't in English, but the inhumanity is clear. I recall feeling sick the rest of the day. Truly all should see it, just be prepared.

I saw Night and Fog in the 70s, perhaps by today's standard it won't seem so bad, but I can't bring myself to watch it again and never forgotten it.
