= HW: One of the hard things to do when confronted by the impossible numbers is to think of the dead as individuals rather than just statistics. Try to overcome that. Read one of the biographies from the "Children Of The Holocaust" website of a child who died then post a paragraph about that person. Say something about who they were and something about what they never got to do. Please do not post about someone who has already been posted about. There are so many dead and they all deserve to be remembered. =
