 Their predecessors managed to convince a sufficient number of the 
 people of one of Europe's most cultured nations to do it.  The
 thing that most impressed me at Dachau - aside from the obscene
 cleanliness of the place - was the slogan, in several languages,
 beneath its keynote sculpture.  "Never Again."  This message, which
 is the most important reason for keeping such remnants of Nazi
 culture in existence, has been heard by the Germans, and they get
 out in the streets by the hundreds of thousands when the monster
 tries to come back to life.  I'm gratified that it has also been
 heard by enough of our own people.
