You've spent many posts decrying a holocaust museum that you state only highlights Jewish victims and that taxpayers have involuntarily contributed. I think this shows quite a petty attitude. I can't imagine someone in a foreign land begrudging a 9/11 memorial. It's your right to do it but it shows someone who would spit on a head stone. The taxpayers of NY do not object to it. I'm sure they support it and visitors will support it. Most holocaust museums and memorials are well visited by Jews and non-Jews alike irrespective of whether it is only Jews that are "highlighted." I wish Jews didn't have to be highlighted, but the Jews suffered more irrespective of how one measures suffering, not that anyone other than a bigot would wish to spend time measuring this type of thing. If your point is that others should have a wing or an explanation, I agree. I have seen museums that talk about the losses suffered by gypsies,gays,bahai,armenians, etc. I welcome all memorials and would gladly contribute to them as a taxpayer and as a volunteer. I don't begrudge these groups memorials and the ability to say, "Never again."
