There must be people who remember World War II and the Holocaust who can help us get out of this rut.

The Holocaust also shows us how a combination of events and attitudes can erode a society's democratic values.

The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.
