holocaust was small portion of how bad ww2 was, not the holocaust that we should worry about, we should worry about not letting another sick man like hitler to have so much power. the Nazi army killed people in the millions if your jewish or not.. even saltine of russia at that time did worst things than hitler, we can let people like that go to power or history will repeat itself. hint

If you listen to Netaneyahoo from the galaxy of Tau - Kita you might believe Turkey apologised to Israel...

when you massacred Arab villagers?

It is a much simpler matter to anguish over a Holocaust that has already occurred, than it is to act to prevent one. There is a great deal of anguishing, but there is not much action.

in Rwanda, Cambodia, Nigeria, Palestine, Sabrah and Chatilla

Peres says that the Holocaust should be a warning to humanity. Yet on the other hand he consistently and persistently opposes acceptance of the Armenian Genocide as the first barbaric act of the 20th century. And now he lectures the rest of the world? Shame on a man who has lost his moral boussola and while preaching morality he bends the same morality to suit his politics.

As an arab you must know Teresienstad,it is not were Asad I killing arabs it is were you supposedly live now ,only that you seem to forget that your brothers started a war against Israel.

Yes it sadly looks like the lessons of the Holocaust have been ignored. Jews are being mercilessly slaughtered again,only this time in their own land [ Passover massacre,Sbarro Bombing,Fogel family slaughter]and evil selfhating Jews like you support the would be perpertrators of a second Holocaust. I would say shame on you but I doubt you have any shame to start out with.

Jewish brothers and sisters. Anti semitism, unhappily, is yet alive, not only through lies and aggressions suffered by Israel, but also in Europe, where "neo nazis" have acted with physical or moral violence against Jewish communities. This horrible nightmare must be braved and won, at once and always. We, true Democrats and Christians, and all decent world's citizens, are at your side. Never forget it.

Israel is the only guarantee that a new Holocaust will not occur. Yet the Israeli left wanst to turn Israel into a defenseless 9 mile wide concentration camp. There is clearly a lunatic death wish going on here.

We must always remember the last Hollocaust and the ones before,thousand of years ago ! We must thank god for bringing us,the Jews,back to our forefathers land. Baruch Hashem and Toda lael for the state of Israel !

rubbish and raw hatred that freely spews and comes out of so many hundred of thousands of sick and psychologically mutilated people all over the world. Mostly, they are pitiful and miserable anti-Semites and anti anything else who are ready to shove under the carpet all the visible crimes going on today in the world (i.e. Rwanda, Sudan, Turkey, the whole Arab Shiite and Sunny world, Palestinian rampant terrorism and so on and so forth). It is the amazing freedom and gall with which these inciting diatribes are allowed to circulate the venom road of the world. It is the sleepy and dormant politically correct governments and organizations who do not want to see, do not want to check and do not want to take any action against them. Sooner than anyone might think all hell might break loose. I wouldn't like to then to write "I told you so."

As I know where Theresienstadt is, what Arabs have to do with it? Did you steal their land because of Theresienstadt? Why did you not grab part of Prussia?

In addition to 6,000,000 Jews that were murdered so were, Political prisoners, gypsies and gays. Surely one of the lessons of the hollocaust is to accept people who are diferent than ourselves and treat them with respect. Just as the Nazi party persocuted gay people the Ultra orthadox Shas party in Israel continue this persecution, never missing a chance to promote their homophobic propoganda. Words can kill as we have seen here in Israel. For every teenager that is bullied and commits suicde , Shas has blood on their hands and we will never forget that the dark evil forces of the Shas cult still live amongst us.

now that Israel and Turkey have patched things up Israel's powerful lobbies can get back to work preventing the US congress from recognizing the Armenian Genocide, just in time for the 100 year aniversary. in 2015 How fitting for Peres the weasel who appologized to Erdogen years ago when Abe Foxman was forced to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Looks like the Holocaust industry is alive and well. Israel has no shame. Beyond Chutzpah

have learned nothing from the Holocaust "for the World has learned nothing" and one can comfortably add " neither do they want to "

The Holocaust is a warning sign to the world, but also to the Jews. The problem is that many Jews are blind to this warning sign, including Shimon himself. He is one of the biggest supporters of Dr. Mahmoud Abbas whose PhD relates to Holocaust denial.

Sarah, thank you! You are usually rabidly anti-Israel, but today on Holocaust Memorial day you finally say something correct we can all agree on. In Rwanda, UN leaders ignored a genocide because they were making money. In Cambodia, a genocide was ignored because the perpetrator was a Leftist. In "Palestine", the British Empire tried to ensure their oil supply by collaborating with Islamists and Arab colonists to genocide the Jews, but thankfully failed. In Sabra and Shatilla, the Butcher Assad murdered women and children, but the Left falsely accused Israel for political ends: now 100,000 Syrians are dead thanks to that sin (and there will be many more).

How many Jewish blood your family have in their hands. Thousands of Jewish infants, old men & women, sick Jews. May G D Curse all those who have killed innocent people Jews & non Jews.

Abbas. My personal feelings re Abbas is that he is one hellava silly old fella. He needs one good hefty kick up the Butt and I'd gladly give it to him.

Thank you very much for an eye-opening Post. Just the same, the truth is going to hurt and anger a lot of people.

Two powerfull words - We stand head bow with painfull memories

the Holocaust was an immense tragedy. It should never be forgotten. There's a lot more to be said but not on this day

Surely you mean the Arabs massacring JEWS even before the creation of the State of Israel? Hitler burnt the history books and this is exactly what the Muslims are doing. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was very pleased with the Nazis Final Solution of the Jewish Question. Today it is very easy to hate Jews and Israel. You don't need an excuse. However, people who look further than the hate sites on the Internet and who are prepared to think, might just see the real truth. Regrettably there are a lot of sheep in this world who will ALWAYS take the easy way and follow the herd, especially when it comes to vilifying Jews as a cover for their own failings! As for the "enlightened world", well it seems to be doing the same thing they did when Jews were butchered over the millennia as they are doing about the massacres in Syria where Muslims are killing Muslims. Nothing! We can understand Muslims killing Jews because that is what the Prophet Mohammed said they must do but surely you have a modicum of intelligence to ask why are Muslims killing Muslims in their thousands?

Some say the Holocaust is being over-played and of course many even deny that it happened. Last night was a thought proviking experience.Here is Israel we remember the Holocaust evry year but last night's ceremony at Yad Vashem was somewhat an of enigma. Sitting next to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Mr.s Netanyahu was former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. We Israelis cannot forget the visit of Mr. Blair's wfie

For all who died during WOII, I also lost a lot of family members. #27 didn't Israel also burnt the history books from Palestinians? The saved books are here in Amsterdam. What the nazi's did to us Israel is now doing to the Palestinians. Palestine is now one big getto. What did you learn? Shalom/Salaam to Palestine. Sela

Pathetic excuse of a human being you are. Pity my original reply to you was not published.
