Thank you for your thoughtful reply borne of your deep understanding of the lessons of the Holocaust. My father was a Army engineer cartographer in World War II, and because the cartographers possessed cameras. at the end of the war , they were sent into the concentration camps to take pictures. I have copies of some of those pictures in a scrapbook my father put together when he returned to the United States. I had heard vaguely of the Holocaust, but until as a teenager, my father allowed me to look into his Army effects did I understand the true horrors of that war. I realized then and now at 76 years of age, and a Vietnam combat veteran, that freedom of speech and images is essential to feel truly free. One can choose to look away from those Holocaust pictures but one should never be allowed to hide, alter or destroy them.
