Another witness to WW2 died..

Miep Gies, who helped with supplying the Franks and friends in the attic during WW2 has died at the venerable age of 100.

R.I.P. she did what any good human ought to do
The ranks of witnesses and helpers during one of the world's worst 'ethnic cleansing'-or let's be honest - 'killing'- is shrinking. And the majority of the youngsters born in the last two or three decades, and in the ones to come, may not be aware of the horrible crimes committed against humankind. Memories are short, and memories of bad things even shorter.
The dam holding back large scale atrocities was breached in WW2 , and periodically breaches recur, sadly. With easily accessible news coverage such events have become instantly visible. Seemingly, though, this has NOT resulted in unwillingness to commit such atrocities.
History repeats itself! Regretfully, we seem to be unable to learn from the mistakes of the past.
