You’d think that it was all over, and then it was not.

Not too long ago, I found myself watching this little news show where I learned that the Pope had pardoned bishops who had denied the event that was the Holocaust. This, to me, was rather sickening. I may not be Semitic, but I am a human being, and anyone who glorifies Hitler and all his actions bewilders me. And then I suddenly realize that these days, if we really think about it, no one’s all that bothered about Nazi Germany anymore. Most of the people who had been alive back then are now dead, and lately Hitler seems to have become nothing more than a glorified bogeyman. The thought is distressing and alarming; even if I do not begrudge Germans or Germany for the events of the past, the fact that people are now making light – some of them even going as far as laughing – over Hitler is simply not right. Because we are forgetting how truly horrible it was. We’ve stopped thinking about how horrible it really must have been. Hitler has become this little joke, we have stopped fearing him and what he has done. And that is simply disrespectful to those he had killed in the name of Germany, and for those he had executed in the name of putting the Aryan race on top.

The Holocaust did not happen indeed. I am happy that we still feel outrage about that now. But if some people believe that today, can you imagine the future when people have stopped caring? He will be a photo on a page, and his atrocities will no longer cause younger generations to think. The prospect is very sad. For more information visit the website, http://adolfhitler.com
