this is for you, Mr Wiesenthal

from several world news broadcasts:

The Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter
Simon Wiesenthal
has died in the Austrian capital Vienna.

Mr Wiesenthal was said to have helped bring
more than 1,100 Nazi war criminals to justice
in the decades following World War II.
*


Never again.
Never again.
Never again.

It's a refrain we must keep
on the tips of our tongues.

Never again.
Never again.
Never again.

~For the sake of all humanity~

Never again.
Never again.
Never again.

Yes you are right ...

yet humans go on perpetrating horrible crimes and ignoring human rights (of brothers and sisters)...

But we must not lose hope for a peaceful co-existence of all of humanity. While there are new nazi groups growing like poisonous mushrooms, there are also groups of people all over the world who operate for peace and they show that it is possible to live in harmony and love.

Love,
Margherita

thanking each of you for reading and commenting

yes, it's true, that too many humans are still willing to commit unforgiveable atrocities, en masse

~but I continue to hope that many many MORE people will walk the pathway of kindness and peace

Let your voice ring out, Kacy.  This man followed his mission in life.  
Hugs, Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
