Genocide and Racism

Genocide is still prevalent int he world we live in today. It was brought to our attention that there are very few Holocaust survivors left alive today and once they die the truth of what went on in those times will be lost forever. The books and other various article pertaining to the subject will be there forever, but the chance to get a one on one with a survivor is growing more and more rare as time passes. Rascism is also still a harsh reality in today's society. The Jena 6 is the latest example to show up in recent news. While i am still not completely sure of the details action needs to be taken to prevent any further injustices. When the speaker was talking she was asked a question. the question was if she could ever forgive the Nazi's for what they did to her people and to her as a child. She said no. It makes me sad that people are capable of cruelty so intense that it would harden someones heart to the point that they say they will never be able to forgive them. I would hope that one day her heart is changed and that she will be able to forgive them because it is never good to keep something like that. i know it isn't easy in the least. So this is the blog about racism and genocide.
