So very few of us understand the impact of WWII. My grandmother's entire family was killed by the Nazi Germans in Poland, and my Grandfather on my other side died in the Pacific. But it was more than just personal loss. Europe was destroyed, millions of Jews killed, the entire cold war, the trillions of dollars it cost the US, all the way down to the problems in the Middle East.
There have been two crimes against humanity in recent years. The first was slavery, and the second was the Holocaust. It's pretty silly to belive that either never happened.
