Dear Steve, I really appreciate your post about the holocaust memorial day. I never visited a concentration camp and I can't image the strong sensations I could feel visiting one of them. Years ago I visited the Jewish Quarter in Prague (the Josefov) where there is a very tounching museum in memory of people who never came back at home from the concentration camps. I was with my daughter and we were really touched watching all the objects of a lot of little ones. A registered voice said all the names of the people and it was really difficult don't cry.
Here in Italy today there were a lot of events for the holocaust memorial day and it's a good sign, because all of us need to remember how many horrible things the men can do when the men hate an entire culture. So sad, but we need (we always need) to remember the holocaust to not repeat the same.

I did cry on this visit. It's all too much to take in. The Germans have done a lot to ensure the events are not forgotten, but they have some nasty people trying to get more control.
Sadly, also here there are some nasty people and thanks to the new government they think to be more "strong" than before, but they are in wrong, because fortunately there are more good people than nasty people.
