The stories of the Holocaust are the stories of us. They are an unfortunate reminder of our own ultimate, sometimes inevitable, ability for cruelty and evil beyond measure. We only think we are different, however, as we keep evidencing with people and groups like ISIS, we remain at the mercy of our worst. If you are in search of the human animal, you need look no further than your mirror. Whenever we degrade people because of race, religion, national origin, sexual identity, or peaceful beliefs, we are lifting the lid of Pandora's Box. When we find fault with those of lesser mental or physical capacity, we prove to the world, as much as we deny it, our own proclivity to repeat history and, once again, travel down this same railroad to evil. Were the Nazis guilty of the Holocaust? No more than the rest of us were guilty for allowing it.
