Afghanistan field cdr: Never let Holocaust happen again

1st Lt. Kristin BurtFOB SALERNO, Afghanistan (Army News Service, April 26, 2005) -- The strength of a message found on a cellar wall in Cologne, Germany, was echoed during the Days of Remembrance observance, April 21, at Forward Operating Base Salerno near Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan.

“I believe in the sun, even when it doesn’t shine. I believe in love, even when I don’t feel it. I believe in God, even when He is silent,” reads the message written by Jewish faithful who hid in Cologne during World War II.

For Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah, literally the Day of (remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism, the FOB Equal Opportunity Advisor Sgt. 1st Class Jeffery Fagan organized a ceremony that encouraged Soldiers and civilians to do just that: remember.

“If we don’t stop to reflect about the atrocities of the Holocaust, it can happen again,” said Fagan. “If we don’t remember and educate others about that culture, we do ourselves a disservice.”
