A friend emailed me an internal employee memo on the subject of Holocaust Remembrance Days. She was taken aback by the following paragraph and asked my opinion. Anyone want to weigh in on the comparison?

<<Some have compared the Holocaust with the September 11 attacks on America. In both instances, acts of terror were directed not at soldiers but at civilians, not at military installations but at communities and places of business. They were aimed at a people, making no distinction between adult and child and making targets of them all. The goal of both atrocities was an attack on a way of life. Those killed in the Holocaust, like those killed at the Pentagon, in New York City, and in the skies over Pennsylvania on September 11, were people who provided no reason to be so hated and did nothing to be so targeted, except to be who they were. And in both tragedies, magnificent acts of courage and heroism stand out to remind us that each of us does have the power to act, that we all can ? and must ? take a stand against oppression and hatred>>
