This cartoon immediately made me think of a few things: (1) Wow, there are so few survivors left, and by the time I have children there probably won't be any left to tell the story first-hand.
(2) I was reminded of a friend of mine from Jerusalem, a female, about 22 years old right now, who got a tattoo on her forearm identical to Holocaust tattoos, so that her children would ask what the tattoo was from and she could tell them, so it made her more involved in the Holocaust, in a sense. Talk about "Never forget."
Obviously people react very differently to her tattoo. What do you guys think about that? Was that a legitimate tool for remembering?
