The Holocaust and The Armenian Genocide was a traumatic experience for everyone who went through, and I can't compare any of my life with that experience but I can feel for the victim's theses Genocides, and I wish them well and a good life. I think people that can comment such a horrible act have mental problems or had a traumatizing childhood that made them kill thousands of people who just wanted to live in a different country with a family. Elie Wiesel said in his Nobel Peace Prize speech
“It frightens me because I wonder: do I have the right to represent the multitudes who have perished? Do I have the right to accept this great honor on their behalf? ... I do not. That would be presumptuous. No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions”
I appreciate what he said about you don't know what the dead want/wanted and I do not want to speak for them. I always hate when people guess what the others wishes are, and I feel bad for the people who have to make medical decisions for their family or friends. The Holocaust was a grave issue, but I think everyone should know what it is a know this can not happen again to anyone in the world.
