The Media Today - And Why the Holocaust Still Matters
Though history has witnessed
many unspeakable horrors,
only once has a highly cultured,
highly technological nation
attempted the "scientific"
murder of an entire people —
and nearly succeeded. Though
what happened is still in the living memory
of millions today, millions of others are
growing up with only a vague idea of what
occurred, jeopardizing humanity's vow of
"never again." Jack Lessenberry, head of
the journalism program at Wayne State
University, examines the media's role.
Among his many titles and accomplishments,
Lessenberry is WUOM-FM's senior political
analyst and delivers daily essays and
commentary on important Michigan issues.
