Maine Voices: We belong to a very special club; new members not wanted
Those who have lived through genocide have a duty to keep those memories alive, lest it happen again to others.

I am a member of a special club, a fraternity and sorority of brothers and sisters who have experienced genocide, and their descendants. It is not an honor that we would wish to bestow on any other community. But because the term “never again” means so little in reality, we have had to bestow it upon so many. We are members because of an evil that knows no boundaries – not of color, religion, gender or geography. It strikes out against them all. It is called genocide.
