Forgetting is NOT an Option!
Beth, at Blue Star Chronicles, just returned from her trip to Germany. She shares some of her experiences which should be read.
We Went to Dachau Concentration Camp Today
My discomfort suddenly seemed completely insignificant and self indulgent. How could I complain when so many had suffered so terribly there. I stopped hurrying. For some odd reason it seemed disrespectful for me to let my feeling cold move me faster across the grounds. I feel silly even typing that out. Its such a ridiculous idea that has no real meaning at all. Still, it seemed that too many had died there for me to give any concern for my own comfort while walking across that gathering place. I walked slower and let myself feel my discomfort. It was an embarrassingly small gesture, but it was instinctual and all there was that I could do.
Man’s inhumanity to his fellow man never ceases to amaze me. It should never be forgotten either.
