Excerpt from the speech On April 18, by Nancy K. Kaufman, Executive Director, Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston :” When it comes to NOT standing idly by, I am reminded of the words of Martin
Niemoeller, a Lutheran minister whose famous words after the Holocaust are engraved
on the entrance to the Holocaust memorial in Boston:
“They came first for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.”

Elie Wiesel, one of the first Holocaust survivors to expose the atrocities through the
written word, has made it his mission to bear witness, to tell his story. He tells us that
“All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Professor Wiesel,
himself a victim of the idleness and indifference of those who stood by during the
Holocaust, protests against the world’s indifference to Darfur and has asked the
questions “How can a citizen of a free country not pay attention? How can anyone,
anywhere not feel outraged? How can a person, whether religious or secular, not be
moved by compassion? And above all, how can anyone who remembers, remain silent?”
We must let the lesson that the world sadly learned by hindsight be the lesson we apply
in foresight. Let us not have to ask ourselves what we could have done to stop it. Let us
act to stop it—and let us start by keeping the past alive and real to the world.
As Professor Wiesel wisely said, “We know that for the dead it is too late… but it is not
too late for today’s children, ours and yours.” And, it is not too late to remember the
“forgotten Genocide” and remind the world that it should never happen again.”

Well, My teacher would be able to tell you alot of things. And my best friend is into the holocaust. He’s german.
There is a book called FOUR PERFECT PEBBLES that is someone’s description about being in that camp with her family. And the woman is still alive. My teacher says she can usually get her to come to our school. Anyway, read that book.

Go to the library and rent Filip Muller’s book or look up his biography. He worked in the Auschwitz camp and his book is mainly about that.
Try searching keyboards into google or yahoo – like ‘Auschwitz methods’ or ‘Holocaust killings’, etc. G’luck.
