"All the Dachaus must remain standing.
The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes — all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the earth into a graveyard, into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its rememberance. Then we become the grave diggers."

Sir, you are smokin'.

Note:
Washington DC has become bloated with memorials.
Problem is, DC's monuments may glorify more than educate, remind, caution.

Thus the practical wisdom of Serling's admonition.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana / The Life of Reason (1905)

Note:
this insight doesn't help much.
Putin wreaks havoc in Ukraine, and reportedly is gaining strength in the process. Western Europe including the E.U. & NATO are in escalating jeopardy. Evidently, this lesson will be relearned.
