I hope this cat pooed in their shoes or something.

The wonderful similiesslip. She and I are new lj friends, having been introduced by the also delightful michikatinski.

She is a smart and thoughtful writer and immediately engaging.

similiesslip is entering the teaching profession, which I can sympathize with, since I work in Academia. She'll be just fine because she is smart and determined. After all, she has dealt with the challenges of juggling college with children.

It took time, but she finished. That shows how strong and determined she is.

Starting a new career, starting over can be scary and exciting. I'm happy to be along for the ride.

On January 27th, 1945, Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz, the most notorious of the Nazi concentration camps.

OVer one million people died at Auschwitz, somewhere around 90% of those were Jewish.

In 2005, the United Nations declared Jan 27th to be Holocaust Remembrance Day, to commemorate the wanton murder of Europe's Jews (six million), the Roma and Sinti (2 million), people with disabilities, gays, Jehovah's Witnesses, and many others.

We need to remember. Many of the survivors of the Holocaust are gone now. We owe to those who survived and those who did not to remember. Too many people deny that the Holocaust ever happened. Others question its relevance.

The Holocaust reminds us how easy it is for us to lash out against others in hatred and jealousy. We must remember.
