Silence is Acceptance

Tom Lantos was the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in the U.S. Congress. When discussing his ordeal he did not mention the cruelty of the soldiers. Instead he was haunted by the fact that the citizens of Budapest crowded around the trains taking he and his siblings to the death camps, not to stop them but simply to watch.

There is a whole lot of watching going on in the United States today. Too much apathy.

Remember, silence is acceptance.
