Today there will be memorials for the innocent people who were killed in a genocide against European Jews called The Holocaust. I'm not a Holocaust denier. I respect and use various web sites including Yad Vashem. However when we hear The Six Million, we should be aware that this is a count of Jewish victims. Many people who were not Jewish were also killed including Catholic priests, people who sympathized or helped Jews hide or escape, intelligencia... The demonic plan was to eventually also kill off people who were of the Slavic "races."
What does this mean for genealogists? I'll be writing more on this subject later in the year.
Today let's think about genocide and how that has changed populations around the world.
Let's think about how vaccines, sanitation, and nutrition help humans live longer and better lives.
