    ... tho i was not anywhere near the holocaust & tho i am not of a religious sect. i do find the persecution put upon the jewish people @ the satanic hands of the nazi(s) so atrocious. it was not only the jewish people ; gypsy & others were targeted, also. i am not a historian. i am a humanitarian. any genocide is an act (hateful) against the spirit of life which i say ... is "god". the spirit of life is god.
