It helps us process thoughts and feelings we tend to push aside. <br /><br />I agree with Heather about how important it is to keep reminding new generations of the horror of genocide.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-8440814356655964892012-10-26T06:21:43.451-07:002012-10-26T06:21:43.451-07:00Art can do a lot.

These stories have to be told and retold. Each generation has to be reminded. But there is the reality: A village in France stands as a memorial to the women, children and old people who were shot or burned to death by the Nazis one afternoon, while the men were working in the fields. It has been left exactly as it was that horrible day in the early forties. It is now a national destination for the French. Everywhere there are signs that say, "You! Never forget." And with people like Rita around, we won't.Heather Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897843833755126739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-33165817612446323252012-10-26T06:03:30.078-07:002012-10-26T06:03:30.078-07:00Ginger - I am so humbled by your comments ... and ...Ginger - I am so humbled by your comments ... and thank you doesn't begin to express how you've touched me. I've wanted to write this series for over ten years . . . and my Gypsy girls are my way of sharing the truth of a time in history when a mad-man gripped the minds of a nation.<br /><br />Thank you for trusting I could tell a story that could touch you . . . even during a dark time. It means so much to me that you believe in me as an author - and a friend. <br /><br />I'm the one who is blessed to be invited to share this blog. I've met some very wonderful people here . . . and I enjoy being a part of Dishin' it Out with all of you. I truly am touched.

Terrible crimes were committed by Hitler and his evil thugs and no-one should ever forget it, so it is commendable that Rita is writing about it to make sure these dreadful deeds are never erased from our minds.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Margaret Margaret Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123830410502520003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-75388833434260199972012-10-25T23:48:16.267-07:002012-10-25T23:48:16.267-07:00What a wonderful world this would be if these kind...What a wonderful world this would be if these kinds of atrocities only happened in the fiction we write....but what kind of fiction wouold we write if we did not have REAL events to guide us in our creations. Even those who write outrageous science fiction are still basing their stories on who they are as humans and waht experiences they bring to their writing themes.<br /><br />Recently the last survivor of the Titanic died and I found myself wondering will what we the writers of today and tomorrow be able to incorporate the emotions that played out in thsoe fateful hours should we chose to write a fictional story with the Titanic as our backdrop. I came to the conclusion if we can't we have no business writing.<br /><br />Thankfully both of you have the ability to make the many levels of emotions resonate even when the topic is something as horrific as the Holocaust. <br /><br />Well done!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866209826449646004noreply@blogger.com
