« Baseball 2006 | Main | Idealism and the Blogosphere » April 07, 2006Rudolf VrbaHow not to be impressed with a man who escaped Auschwitz not to save himself, but to warn the last remaining pocket of Jews in Europe in the hopes of saving a few lives? The term 'greatest generation' is overused, but it's hard not to feel it's appropriate in describing Rudolf Vrba, who died this week at the age of 81. The last eyewitnesses to the Holocaust are passing from view now, and with them those who hope to deny the very existence of the Holocaust will seek to take advantage of their absence to further their own ends. So take a moment to read about a man who risked his life to save hundreds of thousands from the destruction of the Final Solution. (Hat tip: Professor Althouse) Posted at April 7, 2006 07:21 PM
Comment policyI apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.
