    That's exactly what the Museum of Tolerance is doing right now, but you already knew that, didn't you? This is a very interesting way to publicize something.

    They are being recorded. Thousands have had their stories recorded in many forms, written and electronic. This is to make sure that the Holocaust is not forgotten.
    Let us hope that someone is also recording the survivors of the Porrajmos, the Gypsy Holocaust, because not many people acknowlege how horrific that was. It has been estimated that between 50% and 80% of the Romani and Sinti of Europe perished.

    We have been interviewing them and we do have interviews, already. The series "World At War" was a fabulous documentary and it is now on DVD. Check it out at the library or order it online!

    There already ARE many oral and written memoirs of victims of the Holocaust. It is important to save as much of their memories as possible. There are many survivors, though, who simply do not want to talk about the horriffic experiences they endured. No one knows how many innocent people of all ages were murdered, but the general concensus is that the total is around 6 MILLION.

    Much of it is being done but not all in English of course. I worry about the history of the 21 million people who died at the hands of the USSR. That is something the west largely ignores.

    Ask any Native Americans about their near genocide during earlly contact and colonization and they'll tell you with passion what transpired as if they themselves were there.

    I think the same may go for Jews.
