CBS - "Sorry, we can't do a story on Auschwitz. We haven't gotten the Nazi side of things yet"

39. It is a strange thing that when people bring up other genocides, no one seems to want to discuss them

We hear much more about how people are tired of hearing about the Holocaust then any concern about current genocides.

It leads one to infer two things, first is that concern about any current genocides is extremely selective based on the fact that there is only one that gets discussion. The second I will differ to the words of Rod Serling:

There is an answer to the doctor's question. All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes; all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers. Something to dwell on and to remember, not only in the Twilight Zone but wherever men walk God's Earth.
