Jaquays echo your sentiments

"Who was in the Holocaust at the time that the Nazis came in and took over the country? How many people have turned a blind, claiming that it's not them, they're not Jewish and it's not my community, and it's not Europe? It's impossible to repeat the same mistakes we made in history. There's a saying that states, "If you don't now then when." If you're not me, then who?
