Holocaust Memorial Drive for the 6 Million Poles killed during the Holocaust Era (3 Million Catholic Poles and 3 Million Jewish Poles) .

Starting Date: July 28, 2003

.	Summary Background It is estimated that Hitler's machine, during the Word War II, killed some 6 million Poles: some 3 million Catholic Poles --that were killed because they were considered to be subversive to the Nazi regime, and another 3 million Jewish Poles --that were killed solely for the reason that they were Jews. Yet, as astonishing as it may sound, there is nowhere on the face of this Earth, a Memorial Monument commemorating the 6 million civilian Polish victims of the Nazi regime. That in Poland there is no National Monument commemorating and honoring its 6 million Polish citizen victims speaks volumes of the national character and moral conscience of that nation. Yes, there are many Holocaust memorials in Poland related to a particular event of the Holocaust or of a particular Concentration Camp, but no National Monument exists anywhere for Poland's 6 million citizens that perished during the Holocaust era. How could a nation ignore the memory of its 6 million citizens perished during the Holocaust era, is indeed beyond human comprehension. Poland's lack of a National Monument for its World War II civilian victims is not at all accidental and, it is rooted in that country's powerful anti-Semitic sentiments and roots that were implanted and cultivated to flourish like perhaps no other place on Earth. There is no way that today's Poland would have the "stomach" for digesting the idea for a Collective Memorial where Jews and Catholics could be placed under one single "roof." .	.

	Purpose and Goal of the Polish Memorial Drive It is the purpose of the Polish Memorial Drive to first and foremost rise the level of awareness of the absence of this long overdue commemoration of the 6 million Polish victims of the World War II; and second, to see whether we can engage the United Nations and perhaps various Polish-American organizations from the United States for the creation of a Memorial Monument for the 6 million Polish civilian victims that have perished during the war.. .
	.
	Argument It is clear, beyond any doubt, that the time has long came for the world to recognize and pay the due respect to the civilian Polish victims of World War II. If Poland is incapable of a creating a National Monument for its 6 million citizens killed during the war, let the world through the guidance and auspices of the United Nations create such a Memorial. We need to do this because the world's conscience will dictate us to do so, because we need to remember yesterday to educate for today, and because we need to preserve tomorrow for our children and beyond. ..
