Never Again
Today’s must read, Kim visits the Dachau concentration camp:
We were there on a bitterly cold day — flakes of snow, an icy wind, and a simple question came from one of the kids: “Did they have coats?”
Suddenly, The Mrs. started sobbing: great heaving sobs which stopped her in her tracks, and forced her to bend almost double with their power. I held her, and cried too.
After a while, we recovered, and walked on. No, David, they weren’t given coats. They were expendable.
At the end of the trip, we turned to the kids and said: “One day, someone may say to you that this never happened. You are here to bear witness that it did. Never, ever allow those lies to take root and spread. Make sure your children know that this happened, too. This cannot be allowed to happen again.”
