Karen, I am an Air Force Brat who lived 7 k from Dachau in 1950. I too have seen the results of genocide and the results of "Man's Inhumanity to Man" My father made history a very important part of my brother's and my life thus the deep interest in genealogy. How do we know where we are going if we have no idea where we have come from? Genocide was a hot topic in my home as my father was co-pilot of the plane that flew the decoy raid the day Tibbets and the Enola Gay dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Another lesson in Man's Inhumanity to Man. When will people realize that history repeats itself if we are not aware of what has happened in our past.

Yes, the concentration camp became a US Army kaserne with a displaced persons (DP) camp after WWII. I was just 17, a high school girl, but I have seen genocide and what it means. Colleen, I am sad that you feel like this. But I think stupidity or even bigotry is not the same as genocide. Craig, if you want to stop this thread, it's fine with me. Karen
