Dear Teacher:
<=
/span>
I am a survivor of a
concentration camp.
My eyes saw what no=
man
should witness:
Gas chambers built =
by learned engineers,
Children poisoned b=
y educated physicians,
Infants killed by <=
/span>trained nurses,
=
=
Women
and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates,
So I am suspicious =
of
education.
=
My
request is: Help your students be=
come
human. Your efforts must never
produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated Eichmanns.
=
Reading,
writing, and arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our
children more human.

Some killed,
others helped the killers,
or made believe they didn’t know.
The vast majority were apathetic,
unconcerned,
indifferent.
The victims died, not only because of the
killers;
They died because of the indifference of
others.
