“We look back at the tyrannies of the past, the monstrous governments, the devastating wars and the unimaginable crimes, and we wonder how it could have been possible. How could the people of that particular generation let such atrocities come to pass? Why didn’t they do something? Why didn’t they protest? Why didn’t they fight back? We wonder all of this as we absorb the lists of dates, names and actions in books. We are taught to study and wonder without ever actually applying the lessons of the past to the developments of today, instead of placing ourselves in the shoes of our ancestors or recognizing that their struggles remain our struggles.”
