As an (originally) polish Jew, who's grandparents were all afflicted by the
Holocaust, I'm slightly offended by that statement (two posts ago). Not
offended by Greg - just by the fact that he doesn't know the history behind
it. In Israel, this is a major issue (well... naturally), but it seems to me
that there is no education about it in the U.S. until high-school. This amazes
me and disappoints me greatly. Of course this is a harsh issue to explain to
children, but people who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. And
genocide is still happening around us.
OTOH, the *current* German population has nothing to do with the horrors of
the Holocaust!! Blaming them for the actions taken by their parents or
grandparents is certainly not just, fair, or founded.
