They succeeded in virtually wiping out nearly 2,000 years of Jewish life and culture in Europe, all under the guise of the "New Order." Not only did Nazism mean the implementation of the "Final Solution" for over six million innocent Jews, the world's scapegoats, in the Holocaust, but it also meant the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent gypsies, thousands of mentally ill and millions of innocent French, Belgian, Dutch. Yugoslavian Polish j?r?H Russian civilians. All of this was done during Hitler's diabolical scheme of a "Greater Germany" for the "Aryan Race." And yet, the cries of these millions from Dachau, Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Sobibor, Treblinka, BergenBelsen, Maideneck, Babi Yar, Warsaw, Lyon, Lvov, Ledice and 1 countless other concentration camps and mass killing grounds were stonewalled by the Allied powers, except for a few individuals such as to power neg Hitler negated life appallingly insensitive we must promote ubious anniversary," beyond the lip servi< isight," the names of _ ;ntioned.

This is the ultimate "legacy" of Hitler's rise to power ? the anemic reaction of the so-called civilized world to the cries of the oppressed and victimized. Although nothing can ever compare to the fine-tuned, systematic and organized murders perpetrated by the Germans, there are those today who deny the existence of the Holocaust, and even more who ignore the pleas of millions of Afghans, Laotians and Cambodians, Mosquito Indians in Nicaragua, Poles, Ethopians, and Jews and Christians in the Soviet Union who are victimized and persecuted by their own gover nments. Perhaps, if we can come to grips with this "legacy" of Nazi Germany, the world will be a better place for all of us. The millions of unfinished lives taken from 1939-1945 are lost forever, but we can prevent this from ever occurring again. N. Marti Rapoport Law student gated life j.
