On Thursday, this week, the memories of the 'holocaust' were revisited in Europe. The event is called 'March of the Living' and is held every year to remember the six million Jews killed during the Second World War.
It was one of the worst crimes perpetrated on a community just because of one man's hatred. Hitler used to call them 'vermin' and he went about exterminating them using his loyal forces, through methods that can only be termed as barbaric. I'd like to believe that it was his own personal agenda because the average German is peace loving and hugely tolerant of other communities.
The attendant tortures, imprisonment and the methods used for extermination when read from countless books, journals and other media representations raise one's hackles making one wonder as to how a human being can be so hateful of another, so much so, that you bray for his/her life. It can only be the handiwork of a few psychologically misplaced group!
Let's hope that such an incident is never repeated, ever on this earth. To be targeted by the others and not being accepted by the society, at large, is the worst form of existence!
Tailpiece.
Idi Amin's Uganda, Pol Pot's Cambodia and the Kosovo misadventure are subsequent instances of large scale killing of innocents, what did the world do? Watched helplessly!
