Regarding Anne Frank Children's Human Rights Memorial. Anne Frank is not a fading child in the rear-view mirror she is the child in front of us that society can become if it does not remember Anne was a child. The violence Anne, and tragically too many children experience as scapegoats for adult anger, hate, bigotry, frustration, and ignorance, steer the road for tomorrow. Children are weakest, the innocents, the easiest to injure.
Children, if they should live past being victimized today, will be the adults of tomorrow. They will be tomorrow.
