I am not as good a writer as some Freepers but will try to express my opinion without causing rancor. Someone brought up the point that most of the people responsible for the Holocaust have died of old age. Most of the people who liberated those camps at the end of the war have died too. Now we have people coming behind them saying the Holocaust never happened. There are millions of kids getting an education today that can't tell you about the Korean or Vietnam wars. By the end of the next generation they won't know squat about WWII. We cannot afford to let the world forget about the Holocaust.

I would like to see China and Russia build memorials to the at least 60 million innocent people murdered for their revolutions. No one seems to care or remember that.

One of the reasons for WWII was the resentment and humiliation of the armistice treaty at the end of WWI. Will the resentment and humiliation of the Germans cause a repeat of these events?

All your comments are very well stated.

"I would like to see China and Russia build memorials to the at least 60 million innocent people murdered for their revolutions. No one seems to care or remember that."

I completely agree.

"One of the reasons for WWII was the resentment and humiliation of the armistice treaty at the end of WWI. Will the resentment and humiliation of the Germans cause a repeat of these events?"

What if Germany had won both World War I and World War II?

In terms of today's Germany. There should be major public alarm resulting from the rise of German neo-Nazism in the very nation which elected Hitler which plunged the world into World War II, resulted in millions being slaughtered.
