This link is a memorial chain being distributed around the world intended to reach 40 million via email....
It's an incredibly moving piece, all the more poignant in the wake of the meeting of Holocaust deniers in Iran (August 2012) and the denial speeches in the UN. (Sept 2012)
This story was aired on CBS on "60 MINUTES" ** in 2007 about a long-secret German archive that houses a treasure trove of information on 17.5 million victims of the Holocaust. The archive, located in the German town of Bad Arolsen , is massive (there are 16 miles of shelving containing 50 million pages of documents) and until recently, was off-limits to the public. But after the German government agreed to open the archives, CBS News' Scott Pelley traveled there with three Jewish survivors who were able to see their own Holocaust records.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This is being sent as a memorial in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with many Germans and Russians looking the other way! Now more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
If you agree please pass this on - be it through facebook or email just keep it going ....
