Greetings,
Mr. BK. I am NOT debating whether or not memorials such as YV (had to look it up) are a good or bad thing (they're good) but how many have the opportunity or the incentive to visit such a site? Likewise, I consider myself fairly well read but as mentioned I was totally unaware YV existed. How is the "average" person to be made aware of both the commemorative sites AND the history behind them if not taught, at some point the who, what, where, why and how's? I don't think it's taught in any schools I'm aware of. Teach the "humanities" but also the "inhumanities". Very easy to design a curriculum NOT based on religion.
I'm sure there are similar memorials worldwide dedicated to events that highlight "man's inhumanity to man" but who, other than people directly involved somehow actually know about both the memorials and most importantly the events that generated same?
While I feel this particular list is lacking, a "top ten". A couple of which I didn't know about myself...
