I think human beings have learnt and the problem is - Human beings! It's as if they cannot help themselves, like a sort of killer ape. Generation after generation the cry is 'Never again', but it always is. George Vth after the Great War visited the battlefields of Northern France, and was quite horrified at seeing row upon row of white crosses as far as the eye could see. He remarked that anyone wishing to make war, should visit these sites, and they might have a rethink! As we know, that didn't work. I think too, what makes the holocaust even more shocking is that a civilised, cultured European country, Germany, ancestral home of our own dear royal family, was capable of such appalling brutality. Apparently at the time there were whispered rumours coming out of Germany about these dreadful places, but were disbelieved as being so highly exaggerated as not to be true! How wrong people were.
