It was once said that not remembering the Holocaust means to side with the executioners against its victims; not to remember means to kill the victims a second time; not to remember means to become an accomplice of the enemy. On the other hand, to remember means to feel compassion for the victims of all persecutions.

By solemnly commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust, we will keep history in mind, never forget the past, cherish all lives, and create a better future.

(Bumped up from Friday evening.) Does it matter what we call someone? Is terminology essential for taking action against someone responsible for a monstrous crime? I confess I’m amused by the furor over whether to label Major Nidal Hasan a “terrorist.” But so what? If call him a terrorist does that fast track him to a court martial? The answer is no.
