He believed that by bearing witness to past holocausts, we can help prevent future ones. Hence I was pleased (and of course disturbed) to see that in the movie "Hidalgo," the representation of what happened at Wounded Knee was very close to eyewitness accounts. If that scene doesn't outrage you, check your pulse: you may already be dead. We need to remember what our ancestors have done-- else we are destined to repeat it. Recognize atrocity and bear witness to it, so that no one may say they didn't know. As Simon Frumpkin, Dachau survivor, once said when I heard him speak, holocausts continue to occur.

As we speak <i>Israel</i>, the <i>Mother of All Terrorist States</i>, an utterly foreign occupier with no legal or moral justification to exist, is perpetrating an American funded, supplied and supported genocide on an indigenous people <i>right now</i>.
