The generation that knew about the Holocaust during their lives is rapidly disappearing. With each new generation, it becomes less and less personal, and people tend to forget about history that has little personal connection for them.

It needs to be part of our educational effort in schools, to be presented through drama, and discussed on a regular basis.

We must NEVER forget!
