Well, I think there are two main things to learn: One, the depths of the depravity of man. That we can be so incredibly cruel and biased and that people did this to other people. That teaches us a lot about ourselves and how we need to watch ourselves, and go out of our way to overcome our tendency to hate and bias. If we can avoid hate and prejudice in our own lives, then that is the first step to making the world a better place. Two, that it should never, ever, ever happen again. And WE need to make sure that it never does. Throughout history, people have done horrible, unspeakable things to others. It is a cycle... so when we see it happening again, around us, we need to stop it... and stop it faster than we did then. Not only in our own hearts (as in the first item), but we have to stop other people from harming others as well. We can't just stand aside and let it happen. If we use all the power that we have to persuade people not to hate, not to use their authority or power to harm, then that is the next step. Some things are so horrible that they should be remembered. ... If only to stop them from happening again. Instead of identifying with and loving one group of people to the exclusion of all else... let's be inclusive. Let's treat other people as people, and stop blaming different groups for this problem or that problem. We're all human. We all have strengths and weaknesses... joys and heartaches. If we can't see ourselves liking anyone from a certain group, then that is a flaw in *us* ... not in them. We need to learn more, and find a way to care. ... While still preventing abuse and atrocity. If someone does good, then does it matter what race, religion, or gender they are? If someone does evil... does it matter? We have to promote good and discourage evil, not based on labels, but on actions.
