a year ago i went to auschwitz, the notorious nazi death camp, as a government initiative to bring messsages of tolerance to the community. the experience was obviously horrifying, the scale and brutality of it all is indescibable.
today i went to a follow up semina...the empathis was on reflecting on what had happened they talked about ensureing people remembered what happened....which is very importaint. however, i couldn't help but think we should focus on whats happening NOW. places like Darfur and kenya, even guantanamo bay...isnt it hypocritical to look at the jewish holocaust and say 'oh it was terrible' and ignor the genocides thats happening right now!?!?humans are nasty terrible things and there will always be racism and genocides, but sitting back and letting them happen without doing anything...most people dont even know about the genocide in darfur (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/5316306.stm thisis a good article which gives a summery)....gggrrrr it makes me angry and upset....
i will stop ranting now....
