This was a MAJOR setback and saying, ‘I didn’t know’ was the same thing that the German’s in WWII said when it happened to the Jews. It wasn’t that they ‘didn’t know’, it was that they didn’t care to know. They didn’t care to look into it because they, themselves might get persecuted. The truth was always out there. Just like today
She ends the article by saying that ‘The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.’ I agree with this statement as well… unfortunately, most people never looked back in history to see that this had been done before, and before that, and before that.
