Lest it happen again...

No matter how much we study them, even the worst aspects of history tend to repeat.

Protests are a powerful way to help stem this tide.  That is why a middle-aged neurologist from Berlin decided to do his part.  When asked why he recently marched against the growing anti-Semitism in his city, Dr. Friedhelm Schmitt replied: …because I had to.  It’s my democratic duty.

In this day and age when people not only ignore sordid history, but also deny that it ever occurred, such protest is especially needed.
