There will be Holocaust survivors well into the year 2050, most likely six million by our estimates.

Israel will find more artifacts, more Jews and possibly Hitler's corpse.

"Urging survivors and their families to donate any artifacts they hold lest they get lost" This makes me feel sick to read. Survivors have been struggling in this country for YEARS - they don't have money for basic everyday food and sundries - They are the lost people of the State - and now it's asking them to give away FOR FREE any 'artifacts' - maybe the family want to keep them? Thought about that? No wonder Israelis are running from the State to live in other countries.

Really, being a turd is never a good thing. Just as the museum is asking for donations from survivors, German's have the exact opposite problem: they try to dispose of dad's and grandpa's war pictures and 'treasures' without drawing attention to themselves.

Millions of Nazi photos are being destroyed as children and grandchildren clean out parent's and grandparent's houses and find photographic evidence of Nazi activities.

Maybe Yad Vashem should be putting notices in German newspapers asking for the material, no questions asked, before it's destroyed.

Do today's Germans really want to hold on to grandpa's photos of him burning synagogues, taunting Jews, looting Jewish homes, raping Jewish women, of concentration camps, of piles of corpses? Probably not.

I'm sure "Grandpa was a cook" is the most given answer when family asks, "What did grandpa do during the war?"

Yad Vashem must go look to Germany for evidence, the real Museum of the Holocaust.
