When reading this cartoon, I was thinking about my life and how this would apply to me personally. The religion part hits me because faith is a huge part of my life. I was just thinking, what if all the Christains in the world were put on a stand, and like the Jews, all they had to do was deny their faith. I do not believe that I could do that, because Christ said If you deny me, I will deny you before my Father. With that alone, it makes me want to say, "I would never deny my faith," but I hope I really wouldn't if faced with that situation. The kid in this cartoon doesn't understand the meaning behind the tattoo because he says it's a boring tat, but it is a tattoo with a very NOT boring story. At the end, the man tells the kid he kept it to remind the younger generation that The Holocaust really happened and how to prevent something like that from ever happening again.
I think it is the whole idea that survivors don't want the next generation to forget or to deny that the Holocaust was very real. They want them to remember; as a memorial to those who died and also in hopes that the next generation will do all they can to stop it from happening again.
