It is not enough to commemorate the courage and strength of spirit of those who risked their lives to save others from a terrible fate. Unless we are constantly aware of the circumstances in which we live today which could once again give rise to such a terrible tragedy. we are not truly honoring the memory of those who have died. The Jews in the Soviet Union who are today being persecuted for trying to emigrate. the Bahais in Iran who are being killed indiscriminately for refusing to disavow their religious heritage. and their fellow human beings all over the world who are being hunted down and oppressed are all the inheritors of the legacy of mans inhumanity to his fellow mana legacy which spawned the Holocaust. Recently. I had the opportunity to visit the home in Amsterdam where Anne Frank and her family lived in hiding and in terror of the Nazi occuption troops.
