Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich had one goal: Destroy Judaism. Stamp out the Jews with his 'Final Solution to the Jewish Question.' The wholesale slaughter of European Jews is remembered in the 20th century history as The Holocaust and an ethnic cleansing of a religious people.

However, others also got caught up in the Third Reich's reign of terror were the disabled, mentally challenged, gypsies, Slavs, Eastern Europeans, homosexuals, non-Aryan races, non-European emigrants, Jehovah's Witnesses, Freemasons, social deviants & political opponents.

One question that dogs historians and civilians to this date is why the Allied forces fighting Hitler could not see this happening and worse still do nothing to stop Hitler. Why couldn't  they bomb the concentration camps that dotted Europe. There is enough evidence to suggest they obviously knew about their existence and also what was happening within them. 

We all believe never again! And that history will never be allowed to repeat itself. But happened again and several times between then and now. The Cambodian genocide by the Khmer Rouge eliminating about atleast 1.5 million Cambodians, the Rwandan genocide of 1994, the massacre of the Hutus' by the Tutsi's in Burundi killing about a hundred thousand,  the Bangladeshi cleansing in 1971 killing about three lac Hindus & the Kurdish massacres by Saddam killing about a lac.

While I am still uncertain about what drives this human madness, but I am certain that even today, enough reason exists which will drive human lunacy to those paradigms of darkness, again and again and again, And after each such genocide the powers of the world that be will come together to pledge again. Never again. 


Today I look at ISIS in the middle east, Boko Haram in Nigeria & Taliban in Af-Pak constrict basic human freedom and award brutal deaths to those who raise their voice against their will and without trial. Political powers do what they do the best, play politics on human blood and turn a blind eye. What is power if it can't save a human life?  

While the numbers eliminated by today's war zones are yet to match the other genocides, but it wont take too long. And yet again we will meet only to pledge, never again. Alyan Kurdi, a three year old washed up at the Turkish coast trying to flee the Syrian crisis, will only remain a statistic and humanity will slumber till yet another crisis looms in with similar consequences.
