Unfortunately, in just a few generations that horrible lesson is being forgotten. Every parent, not just schools, should make an all out effort to make sure that the next generation hears what happened between 1933 and 1945 in Europe and the far east. It is uncomfortable but absolutely necessary. Regards, Greg Daniel Ridings wrote in part: >There's a story here. > >Every year the county sponsors a trip to Auschwitz.
