To those deniers of the Holocaust:
There is no denying that these members of my husband Hershel’s family lives were taken too early.
There is no denying that none of them would ever enjoy growing old to delight in the joy of a grandchild.
There is no denying this little boy would be born homeless, live in a displaced persons camp, never knowing the love of a grandparent. An uncle. An aunt.
There is no denying this little baby heinously ripped from its mother’s arms and thrown in front of a moving train was the action of pure hate.
There is no denying there existed something so evil in this world there was hate so vile it created an unimaginable evil.
But we must never forget.
There is no denying the Holocaust.
Ever.
Today we remember, as I do every single day.
First they tried to erase a people. Now the deniers try to erase the attempted act of erasure. Evil and lack of moral conscience knows no bounds. It can only be countered and contained by remembrance and the constant telling and retelling of truth. It is incumbent upon every human being, not to let the world forget that hatred breeds evil consequences. Never Again!

There are so many videos, articles, etc documenting and discussing the horrors of the holocaust so to ever deny it happened is the height of ignorance.

Thank you for such an important and remarkable post. To me it echoes Simon Wiesenthal’s wise words “For evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing.” Sadly, it is just as true now as it ever was.
