For Jewish people, remembering the Holocaust is crucial to their identity. A Jewish colleague recalls growing up in New York City in the 1950s and 1960s and hearing stories of Nazi atrocities. Survivors warned that such atrocities could happen again, that persecution and victimization were always a possibility. Recent attempts by revisionists to deny that the Holocaust happenes have been met with fierce opposition and a renewed effort to document that tragedy in grim detail. The Holocaust Museum in Washington,DC, is memorial to that history for all of us.
