xcerpts from other
Yom HaShoah
speakers:
• Lt. Gov. Dick
Posthumus: "The
tragedy and the terror of
the Holocaust has to be
one of the darkest
moments in human his-
tory. Despite that, the
human spirit carried on.
"I can't stand here and
tell you that I fully com-
prehend the suffering of
the tragedy, of the human
indignation that took
place during the
Holocaust, but I think I
can tell you that I had a
small feeling of it over a
decade ago as I stood over
the grounds of Babi Yar.
It was as if the thousands
and thousands of those
who were killed there,
their souls were piercing
my heart. I could almost
feel the beginning of that
suffering.
"Even if we fully can't
understand that suffer-
ing and that contempla-
tion, it is important that
we not forget."
• U.S. Rep. Joe
Knollenberg, R-
Bloomfield Hills: "The
good news is that the
world has come a long
way from the days of the
Holocaust and World
War II. Germany and
Japan are now our allies
who help us advance the
causes of freedom and
opportunity. And the
State of Israel can
proudly celebrate 54
years of existence.
"The achievement of
those who stood strong
in 1948 — the estab-
lishment of a democratic
country in a region that
has known no other
democracy — is one of
the most incredible
achievements of the last
century. Now, we must
