Comments on: Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day http://www.baronesstapuzina.com/2007/04/14/yom-hashoah-holocaust-remembrance-day/ Food and other adventures in Israel and abroad Sat, 06 Mar 2010 23:23:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Baroness Tapuzina http://www.baronesstapuzina.com/2007/04/14/yom-hashoah-holocaust-remembrance-day/comment-page-1/#comment-98 Baroness Tapuzina Mon, 16 Apr 2007 19:34:59 +0000 http://baronesstapuzina.wordpress.com/2007/04/14/yom-hashoah-holocaust-remembrance-day/#comment-98 I read the article about the Holocaust being removed from the British schools curriculum. I think it is appauling. Genocides do continue. We have witnessed genocides in Biafra, Armenia, Darfur, Rwanda, Bosnia-Herzogovina, Cambodia...... somehow people find it so easy to kill one another. And the senseless suicide bombings in Iraq and here in Israel. When will the madness stop! A lot of innocence has been taken away from people here in Israel. I thought I lost my innocence when 9/11 occured, but it was really taken away when a bus blew up across the street from a bus I was sitting in several years ago. Innocence is something that you cannot get back. Some days I feel like humanity has lost itself and all we know is hate and killing. Then, something happens to change my mind like when Jewish families in the center and south of Israel took in Muslim families from the Galilee during the Lebanon War this past summer. Humanity is still around. I read the article about the Holocaust being removed from the British schools curriculum. I think it is appauling.

I honor their blessed memory and the memory of all those who perished by serving on the Board of the Florida Holocaust Museum here in Pinellas County, Florida (www.flholocaustmuseum.org) To answer your question about whether we have learned...genocide continues in Darfur as it did in Rwanda. We need to be more vigilant in protecting the rights of individuals and ensuring that indifference may never be the norm.
