Thank you for this post! I agree we need to not forget the Holocaust - as well as other atrocities - and reading about them helps us to remember. I'm drawn to reading about the Holocaust, about survivors of Soviet Gulags, the Holodomor, those who've escaped North Korea, and so forth. It's not because I enjoy reading them - far from it. It helps me to have greater compassion for what they're suffered, to recognize that hope grows in the seemingly most desolate of situations, to see the resilience of the human spirit, and to see how God can bring good out of what others intended for evil. There's often also great heroic courage and beauty to be found in these individuals' stories.
