IN MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER...

Little Girl: - I've gotta tell ya mister... that's an awfully boring tattoo on your arm. Its just a bunch of numbers.

Old Man: - Well, I was about your age when I got it, and kept it as a reminder.

Little Girl: - Oh, a reminder of happier days?

Old Man: - No... of a time when the world went mad.

Old Man: - "Imagine yourself in a land where your countrymen followed the voice of political extremists who didn't like your religion.

Imagine having everything taken from you, your entire family sent to a concentration camp as slave laborers, then systematically murdered. In this place they even take your name and replace it with a number tattooed on your arm.

It was called the holocaust, when millions of people perished just because of their faith..."

Little Girl: - So you kept it to remind yourself of the dangers of political extremism?

Old Man: - No, my dear, to remind you.

Holocaust Remembrance Day is a day that has been set aside for remembering the victims of the Holocaust and for reminding people of what can happen when bigotry, hatred and indifference reign.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me." ~ Attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller, a German minister imprisoned at Dachau during WWII for opposing the Nazi party
