[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 692758, member: 1963"] That's my fear as well. What will happen to those who come after us, as well as the young men and women now here, who happen to have a different skin color and/or worship differently, or love differently. And Esther, my mother is 81. She's from England. She's in shock. Not only that, nearly h er entire family and my father's entire family died, either in the pogroms or the Sho'ah. I grew up hearing their stories. And here I am...fearing it'll happen again. Most of my mother's family were slaughtered by Nazi sympathisers in Lithuania before the Germans invaded. Plenty of Lithuanians were slaughtered as well. There were vile war crimes committed by both sides in those ghetto uprisings. I do understand, Esther, and i am sorry that this topic upset or frightened you. I deal with that feeling on the board quite often when the mention of certain majority faiths come up, both as a former Jew, and as an atheist. I just "read around" them. [/QUOTE]
