LB – I didn’t really read the OP or most of the rest of this thread, but I do want to make sure that you are aware of something. Many Gedolim are against the commemoration of Yom HaShoah. I am not interested in getting into that right now or getting into an argument about it. I just want to make sure that you realize that they have many reasons for this, but disrespect for the victims of the holocaust is DEFINITELY not one of them!!!
Everyone agrees that the holocaust should be commemorated; the only question is when and how. I am not interested in getting into an argument with someone who wants to commemorate Yom Hashoah; I just want to make sure that when you come across those who don’t do so that you realize that it is not chas v’shalom out of a lack of respect for holocaust victims.
(Again, I don’t know what the OP wrote and this is not meant as an approbation of the specifics of his post).
