Legacy & Importance of Memory

[One of the milk cans of Oyneg Shabbos] Historian Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum led a group called Oyneg Shabbos which hid secret archives in three milk cans inside the Warsaw Ghetto. They collected written works by children as documentation of young lives. See "What we see in the street" by Yaffa Bergman, age 14. http://www.mjhnyc.org/ringelblum/essay.htm

Essential Questions:
There are many eye-witness accounts to the events of the Holocaust. Despite efforts to inform the public about atrocities that occurred during this chapter of history, why are there people who continue to deny that it ever happened?
How does a nation come to terms with its historical past?
