Technological error

Rico says he wanted to post this yesterday, 19 April, but the internet wasn't available:
The term holocaust is an ancient word derived from the Greek— holos (whole) and kaustos (burned)— but, following the conclusion of World War Two, the term took on an entirely new meaning. The murder of six million Jews in killing centers controlled by Nazi Germany in the name of racial purity revealed the cruel lengths humans could go employing modern technologies, systems, and killing tools.
In 1980, Congress created the US Holocaust Memorial Council, charged with creating a national day of remembrance for victims of the Holocaust. On 19 April 19, 2012, local governments, military bases, workplaces, schools, churches, synagogues, and civic centers across the country will pay homage to those lost and say "never again". The Holocaust Memorial Museum will also hold a weeklong observance, which will focus on historic rescues of Holocaust victims.
Take a moment to reflect because, while the history of the Holocaust is past, it must not be forgotten.
