Recently I saw a documentary on HBO called "Paperclips" about a school (from Whitwell Tennessee) project kids did about the Holocost and just watching that show and thinking about what those people went through in the death camps was overwhelming and once in a while I had tears running down my face.
This show reminded me of the book "Anne Franks Diary" which I have always wanted to read but have never gotten around to buying it; maybe my next good payday.
Coincidently my wife taped a show that was on Oprah about the Holocost and she interviewed a man who had survived it. It was very touching and frightening at the same time to think that some people are evil enough to do that to other people. Six million Jews were murdered and another Five million people for a total of Eleven million people were murdered in the death camps.
When I think of this I am reminded of a song / poem that Rod McKuen wrote and sang - it goes something like this "It makes me cry to see the things that some men do to one another".
