- <p>Around the world, Holocaust memories stir deep feelings
- </p>
- <p> From Washington to Warsaw to Jerusalem, commemorations of the
- Holocaust took many shapes. In the U.S. capital President
- Clinton, Lech Walesa, Vaclav Havel and 8,000 guests--including
- a few hundred who were spared in the death camps--listened as
- survivor Elie Wiesel dedicated a Holocaust Memorial Museum. In
- Poland Vice President Al Gore honored the memory of resistance
- fighters killed in the Warsaw Uprising 50 years ago last week.
- Jerusalem received a most unexpected visitor: Martin Bormann,
- son of the Hitler aide of the same name, came to pay tribute at
- that city's Holocaust memorial. There were discordant notes as
- well. In Washington Wiesel and others were outraged at the
- presence of Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, who had claimed
- in a 1988 book that the number of Holocaust deaths is widely
- exaggerated. Most shockingly, one in five American adults (see
- the chart) said in a survey they were unconvinced that the
- Holocaust had ever occurred.
