What's on the Front Page of Your Mind? by Robin Webber Most of us are familiar with the old question, "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise?" I'm sure many of us have put our mind into that "proverbial forest" and sought the answer. But that is only hypothetical. A more significant question is, If evil occurs and no one pays attention, will it just go away? What happens when we are made fully aware of an injustice and turn our back on the matter hoping that it will disappear? In other words, are we ignoring the "crash of news" and the "crush of reality" coming down all around us? Walter Reich wrote an op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times focusing on Holocaust Remembrance Day, which was April 19. This designated day reminds a modern audience of the real threat of man's inhumanity to man by spotlighting the organized and methodical extermination of nearly 6 million Jews during World War II under the Nazi war machine. Dr. Reich is a professor of international affairs, ethics and human behavior at George Washington University. He was the director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum from 1995 to 1998. His article, titled "Holocaust Remembered, the News Went Nowhere," gives each of us a lot to think about, not only about the past, but what we plan to do in the future. Lessons and legacies for our time Dr. Reich begins, "On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, mourning the victims of that society is a compelling act of memory. It would have been better, of course, if, half a century ago, while it was taking place, the Holocaust had been confronted with the focus and conviction that is now being devoted to its remembrance."
