There is an excellent online research for studying the Holocaust and all
related information.
http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/
H.E.A.R.T Holocaust Education & Archive Research Team
Their Mission:
Today there are many resources available for those wishing to learn more of
what the world has come to know as “The Holocaust” - the planned
extermination of entire ethnic, religious, political, and other groups by
the government of a sovereign state, Germany, and her allies during the
years 1933 -1945. Memorials, museums, and sufficient books to fill entire
libraries are devoted to the subject. But the advent of the internet has
created a new, globally accessible source of information on the Holocaust.
Some of this information is valuable, often unique. Much of it, poorly
researched and sourced, is not. The hateful writings emanating from the
twisted minds of those who would deny the reality of what is irrefutable are
much worse.

RonF:

Americans are going to end up coming home in boxes.

American men are going to end up coming home in boxes, men who were targetted for recruitment because they were men. Unfortunately if someone doesn't intervene, the Janaweed will continue to target men and boys for murder. When women are girls are specifically targetted, Feminists call it male privilege. When men and boys are targetted, Feminists don't usually notice, but if you point it out to them, they call it male privilege. Go figure.

I like Obama because he was the only one who said anything about civil liberties at the 2004 Democratic convention.

Amp, a very powerful and moving post.

When I was a teenager, we asked Holocaust survivors come to the school and tell their stories. Every year it was a different group of three or four, because it was so emotionally wrenching to listen to these histories. Never Again! should be something that every high school graduate knows about, and why and what _they_ can do to prevent it.

BTW, have you been to the Holocaust Museum yet? Wow.

A little late on that. Holocaust Remembrance Day was yesterday.

Ron, I live in Illinois, too. I don’t look to my U.S. Senators to make changes within Illinois…what are you looking for, wasteful pork, spending Federal dollars in your region? Sens. Obama and Durbin do a great job, from my perspective, at representing my political positions at the national level. I’m to the left of the Democratic party, generally, and I’m largely pleased with Obama and Durbin’s voting records.

As an Illinois voter, I need to ask; what’s the big national deal about Barak Obama? I just don’t see what’s so remarkable about him. I don’t see what particular reason he’s given me to vote for him in his next election. What has he done for Illinois (the state whose interests he’s supposed to be representing).

Oh, for a list of confirmed speakers, go here. Barack Obama is one of them.

Or you can come to DC this Sunday for the Save Darfur Rally. I think I just might head up there myself.

From what I’ve been reading, the present (and all too recent) efforts by President Bush and Sect’y of State Rice have gained the attention of Al-Queda et. al. Their response apparently is to claim that the current conflicts in Darfur were initiated by the U.S. in the first place, and that any efforts to involve the West in any way should be met with jihad. If we get involved over there, Americans are going to end up coming home in boxes.

Yom HaShoah…

It’s Holocaust memorial day, and I concur with Ampersand: the best way to remember the Shoah is to put your name behind the message of “Never Again.”…

Thank you for this post, Ampersand - and today seems like a good time to send a similar message to my country’s leader.

Thank you for that post! It prompted me to write a post on the subject on my own blog.
