children of the holocaust

I don't remember much about school projects.

I was the kind of student who did the work (at the last minute) and did it well, but then promptly forgot all of the content.

What's the capital of New Hampshire? No clue.

Who fought in the French and Indian War? Well, I could make a guess.

What's a coefficient? Forget about it.

But in 8th grade, we were assigned the task of reporting on a concentration camp.

I was assigned Dachau, and that I will never forget.

The horrors inflicted by white nationalism, which became like a Nazi Church.

The years of ignorance and ignoring by the world as genocide was well underway. Dachau was established in 1933 - far too long before any interventions from the rest of the world.

Pause here.

These are the children of Gaza. Right now.

Will these be the pictures used in your child's next school project, leaving them wondering how we let it happen?
