I have heard, though I have lost the reference, that the aborigines
of Tasmania were systematically and deliberately wiped out, each and
every individual. There is no-one left to tell their story, to remember
them, to dream...  To me that is incredibly sad. It was also genocide.
Literally. I do not think that it is often remembered that the
Holocaust was not successful. Others were not so "lucky". At the risk
of being overly sentimental and morbid, we should all weep for those
for whom there is no-one left to mourn.
