Honor Holocaust lesson

Thu., April 8, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

This year, April 11-18 will be the days of remembrance, 65 years after the camps were liberated. How sad to know that some deny the Holocaust happened and still others spew hate through word and deed.

Make a point to not tolerate hate; it never has been known to breed harmony. Isn’t a calm and peaceful life what we all strive for? What we wish to create for our own children? Make it happen today and especially April 11-18 on remembrance days.
