Holocaust denial has begun to become the mainstream. It's sad, but it's true. Men and women all over the world are questioning the validity of the Holocaust. Even government officials raise their eyebrows at the subject of the Holocaust. What has caused this resurgence? Well, I honestly couldn't tell you. I have my theories as I'm sure you do as well. What I can tell you is that Holocaust denial is dangerous. It is a poison that threatens to spread its way around the world. If we do not remember or believe that the Holocaust ever happened, how do we expect to raise our voices against the atrocities happening in Sudan? We can't, because we wouldn't believe that it was happening. Remembrance and saving those in Sudan are intricately connected. If we don't remember, we are less inclined to speak up for the Darfurians and send them aid. Remembrance of the Holocaust is becoming less important as we focus on Sudan. That's alright. We need to focus on Sudan but we can not forget that as a people we made a promise to remember the atrocities of the Holocaust and that we would fight against future atrocities. All I ask is that you not forget. If someone questions the validity of the Holocaust, then they might as well be questioning the validity of the situation in Darfur. Look at the photo of the child. Can you deny that?
