Evangelist Billy Graham, on a 10-day trip to Poland, visited the site of the former Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz and called on world leaders to learn the lesson of Auschwitz. Speaking after laying a wreath at the site last Thursday, Graham said: “Auschwitz stands as a warning for all humanity that man is capable of repeating and even multiplying the barbarism of Auschwitz.” He said that if the “present insanity of a global arms race” is continued, it will “lead inevitably to a conflagration so great that Auschwitz will seem a minor rehearsal.”
