It is hard to look back on events such as the Holocaust, 9/11, and many other catastrophies and openly saying that you don't understand their pain. It is alomost that the correct anwser to say is not that you understand their pain, but at least witnessed their pain. I think that is why we, in modern day society, erect things like the holocaust meusem and the new World Trade Tower. So that by it being there everyday we say to the people we are trying to understand. This may be the reason that many go to the concentration camps so that by experiancing the horror even in memory we might be able to pass that experiance on, to detour this from happening in the future.
