I learned a lot of interesting information regarding the Holocaust. Vince's article told why it took so long to make an official Holocaust Memorial Day. People who weren't part of a group considered as "undesirables" didn't care because they weren't involved or targeted. They thought that events that happened to others meant they didn't have to remember it themselves.
Defining "Holocaust" was another burden. If the confirmed definition was something that didn't happen, then people would have more reason to believe that there shouldn't be a memorial. The word also couldn't be purposely defined to give reason to make a day of remembrance.
Eammon's article talked about a Palestinian teacher who took his class to Aushwitz. This angered other Palestinian's because the class was feeling sympathetic for Jews. The same Jews who took their land as their own. The Palestinians feel negative towards the Jews for this but the class does otherwise. They were glad to see we're so many died and to feel sorry for that.
