It is in the past that is true, and for many it is just a horrible memory which will hunt the lives of those who witnessed. The war not only marked a point of weakness in the history of the world, it also taught everybody, that as long as there are different set of minds and people with other points of view, there will always be conflicts, and these conflicts can escalate and turn into a massacre like World War
