Never forget?
History is a fickle and often unreliable bitch academic discipline, but it ought to take note of the date — January 27, 2025, which marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Remembrances were held across the globe, with the pledge, “Never Forget.”
In this country, however, the anniversary came the day after the American president called for ethnically cleansing Gaza; and just two days after the Shadow President appeared via video at a rally for Germany’s neo-Nazi party and declared that it’s time to “move on” from “past guilt.”
“Never forget?” Is that the title of your piece, Charlie Sykes???
A better title, given all that’s happening these days, would be:
“Dark Lessons From The Crypt, Remembered”
