Genocide is bad, kids. Remember that.

The fact that we have to have days to remind people of this says something rather sad about people, doesn't it?

I'm in a play about the Holocaust right now. It's a really hard hitting, heavy production that really means a me. It's called "I Never Saw Another Butterfly." And it's about a little girl and her experience in the Terezin Ghetto. It's an amazing play, and what our director did with it is absolutely brilliant. Backstage the cast cries throughout the whole thing, and there is absolutely sound from the audience as they watch this.

The director gave us an assignment in one of our rehearsals to go on a computer and look up the word "Holocaust" and then half way through the rehearsal he stopped us and said, "Now look up the word Genocide." We did, and were very impacted by this. So, we decided that all of the proceeds of our play would go to www.savedarfur.com

I guess to all of us, it makes our play meaningful, and raises awareness, so that something as awful as the Holocaust won't happen again. You should contribute to the cause too.
