I don't think there is any way that the Holocaust would be forgotten. Actually the Holocaust is the one most "talked and written" about human atrocity in the world. No other atrocity has had so much "media" attention in this world as the Holocaust. It is now coming to the point where people are feeling saturated with it. It is backfiring. Perhaps it is time to let go of it and I am not saying anything about forgetting it, however it ranks a bit when Israel is doing all those horrible things to the Palestinians.
