Can the world agree upon a 'common memory' of the Holocaust?
Chicago Tribune
Recently, the pope has called for Christians and Jews to build a "common memory" of the Holocaust, saying, "It is our responsibility to hand it on in a dignified way to young generations." I consider my parents' experiences in Auschwitz as I watch what’s unfolding in Poland and I wonder if it is possible to build a common memory of the Holocaust. That will be the challenge to my generation and those that follow.
