    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Dr. Randolph Braham: The Holocaust has to be taught as a chapter in the long history of man's inhumanity to man. One cannot ignore the discrimination inflicted on many people because of race color or creed. One cannot ignore slavery. One cannot ignore the burning of witches. One cannot ignore the killing Christians during the Roman period. The Holocaust perhaps is the culmination of the kind of horror that can occur when man loses his integrity, his belief in the sanctity of human life.

    A must

    If you like history you must watch this. I know it's hard to watch but we want to know what happened in the past.
