I think one reason why the Jews are so diligent in keeping the memories of the holocaust alive is that there is still a fair amount of anti-semitic conversation out there. I ran into a fellow on main street just this week who is convinced the Jews control the pharmaceutical companies and are giving us cancer somehow through their products in order to make a bigger profit.

Humans seem to have a problem empathizing with and accepting folks who are different than them. You can expect problems when a minority looks or sounds different than the majority. The Jews don't look that different or sound that different that most North Americans/ Europeans and yet there is a constant undertow of anti semitic sentiment within our societies.
