Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, according to my calendar, and yesterday was a day dedicated to the memory of the Armenian Genocide.

Both of these days commemorate low points in the history of our human existence and it saddens me to think of the loss of life that occurred through both of these catastrophes. I am neither of Jewish nor Armenian heritage but I would still like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives as a result of these horrible events.
