LocationSao Paulo, BrazilMessageThe materials provided, the dvd, the cd-rom were of unvaluable help. They did one of the best events ever! The rich materials could not be found anywhere else, so the interest, the commitment to the event and the public was big! Students and general public understood not only the history of the holocaust itself, but that genocide is not over; that pain made from human beings to other human beings is still real in today's world - our world. They understood that we must act, take a stand, do not accept any of this - anywhere, to anyone. Never again. |

LocationKalispell, MontanaMessage"Words are in my not so humble opinion; our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it.”- Dumbledore. Adolf Hitler seduced a broken germany promising happiness and nationalism, but instead inflicted injury beyond repair to Europe. This week is about healing as well as remembering an evil that tested our hearts and perished against the bravorey of the whole world. |

LocationKalispell, MTMessage"We Are People"As reality falls, it does not float as a feather does. it crumbles beneath our feet. it is the constant BuZzZzing of bees, that crawl on our skin. It tells us we are nothing. But monsters waiting for reality to crash upon us. ~Laura Keller~ We remember because these were real people who felt real emotions. These people weren't lampshades or ash trays. They were not the monsters people thought they were. They were people, and every person in this world deserves a choice, a life. |

MessageI never knew what the Holocaust was really about until I learned about it in U.S. history. I also went online and did some personal research to learn more about the Holocaust. I actually never knew that six million people were killed until now. I am proud to be an American, and sorry for people who had to suffer during the Holocaust. I really don't understand how a human being can kill that many people. |

LocationKalispell, MontanaMessageRacism, preduce, genocide- all on going problems that have been around since the dawn of time. Nobody can ever know the true reason for it, but still it all exists. There is no way to stop all of these, but we can work to make everyone aware of what happens to many jews, homosexuals, gypsies, mental and the physically ill people and even others who have and are losing their life based on the color of there skin, their beliefs, and the way they live there live. all we can do is work to better the on going generations and be the change that you want the world to be. I honor those who have lost their life and have nothing but total respect for them. They will always be remembered. |

LocationKalispell, MontanaMessageA terrible blemish in the history of humanity. May every life that was lost be remembered and not be lost in vein. Learning about the holocaust was extremely touching to me and I pray for not only the victims lost in the genocide of the holocaust, but also many other people around the world in countries suffering from this awful crime. |

LocationUtahMessageI heard on NPR that this was Holocaust remembrance week! My ESL class just finished reading Number the Stars by Lois Lowry and now they are working on presentations on other histories from the Holocaust. Some of my international students did not even know about this tragedy! I am so glad that our presentations coincide with national remembrance. |

LocationDenver, CO USAMessage“We Didn’t Know”The mind constructs compartments sealing off brutal burdens burying alive dark knowledge from the light of change and a fatal duty to act. Did we judge too harshly? Nightmare waking truth huddles behind padlocked doors horror’s ooze ordered by a stern will soul finds anchor in unreality unforgiving, hunted heart reveals itself no secrets Have I judged too harshly? |

LocationitalyMessageNever we will happen was happened against jewish and minority, disables. they was discrimated only for be, for exist. this their error. never a new holocaust, never such horros have to face on history. For that we must be vigilant, hav respect the ones to others, respect all ideal, combat discrimination on all aspects. We must love others as we love us: this the secret arm to prevent and avoid such situations. i remember on my heart alls have been massacred, they live on me claudio alpaca |
