Quote,paraphrase, and citation #4

"But can we just leave it alone? We know about it but we don't talk about it. Perhaps we've even listened to a Holocaust survivor speak. We know that the Holocaust was infinitely more horrible than we can imagine. But does everyone know this?.... Who speaks up against these false ideas? Who speaks up against the people who say it never happened? Who speaks up against those that say it is a Jewish conspiracy attempting to gain pity? Not many - for it is too disturbing to discuss. " -Jeniffer Rosenburg

This quote she is trying to explain what she believes, which is the subject of the Holocaust is too disturbing to bring up! Listening to a speaker is talk about it, and seeing how terrifying it was. Some people have no idea what is what, or what happened, maybe why it happened. There are less and less people who even want to try and get it out anymore, or try and speak up for the subject. This is pretty much saying though, that it is too disturbing to talk about.
