I have family members with tattoos on their arms. 14 still alive.
They're all getting quite old now

Lest We Forget?
Let's give props where props are due.
If there's one thing Jews are really good at....
...it's not letting us forget about the Holocaust.
The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt")
Greek? Seems to me they should have picked a German word.
Opa!

The memory is woven into the fabric of Boston
Boston is a small city, but it is an aware city
http://www.boston-discovery-guide.com/boston-holocaust-memorial.html
Flanked by touristy Faneuil Hall Marketplace, historic taverns, and looming Government Center buildings and high-rise condos, the location seems strange at first.
But the red stripe of the Freedom Trail can be seen nearby, linking the Memorial to earlier Revolutionary War sites commemorating the fight for liberty and human rights.
The removal of the elevated Central Artery and the surrounding mess of the "Big Dig" in 2006 has opened up this part of the city to a new flow of tourists and locals. As a result, the number of visitors to the Boston Holocaust Memorial has visibly increased, and that is a good thing.
This gripping memorial causes us all to pause and think about the deadly impact of prejudice, hatred, and bigotry, and the importance of speaking out whenever we encounter them.

This is crucially important to remember and memorize, lest we repeat history again. However, I think that we'd be best to realize that there have been a lot more than one holocaust, and that the recent ones have occurred within the lifetimes of everyone on this board, and there are currently several happening right now.
It's easy to make villainous something that happened before most of us were born, but harder to come to terms with the reality of how our perception is shaped through multiple generations of lenses. Many people in the US were quite pro-Nazi until 1941, especially among the business elite.
There are parallels that can be drawn to that today, and lessons that we should take with us and not repeat if we can help it.
