A Sad Reminder

I came across an article about a memorial service at Auschwitz for the millions of people who were killed there and the brutal treatment that all of the prisoners went through. It is a sad reminder of what happens when a person's, or a nation's, beliefs become skewed to the point that human life does not matter anymore. Most of us tend to ignore the murders that go on everyday all over the world carried out by ruthless governments that are not held to a higher standard. It is heart-wrenching to look back at the terrible things that happened during World War II in the Nazi concentration camps, but we need to remember not only what happened then, but also the fact that the killing has not stopped.
