Haunted by the Holocaust: can you grieve for someone you do not know?

I DIDN’T know, although I should have, that Auschwitz was liberated 61 years ago last Friday.

We should all know that date, January 27, 1945. It should be one of the dates in history that is forever a part of us.

If there is one episode in history that must never be forgotten, it is the episode that bears a unique name, a name that cannot be applied properly to anything else. The Holocaust.
