On April 28, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jewish communities around the world paused to remember all those who died during this tragic era of the world’s history. This day’s observance in the midst of a crisis in South Sudan makes me wonder why Americans are so aware of the horrible atrocities that occurred during the Holocaust, but not so about other more recent incidences of genocide around the world.

Once upon a time I could be transfixed for hours by the Baseball Encyclopedia or Baseball Almanac. Now the information once housed in those enormous volumes can be found right at our fingertips on the Internet. I spent some time recently scanning through all the major league players born in Nebraska. It’s a long list, but most of them seem to be from back east - Lincoln and Omaha are well represented, the panhandle not so much. It’s a population thing of course.
