How could the "future of mankind" be sacrificed on "the fiery alter"?
Answered by Ms. Sue
What do you think?

Answered by Reed
More importantly, perhaps, is what does Mr. Wiesel have to say about his idea?
Answered by Victoria
I'm not sure what I think.

I'm really confused by what he means by "future of mankind."

Answered by Ms. Sue
The future of mankind is the people who will be living 50, 500, 5,000, 50,000 years from now.

Answered by Ms. Sue
What kind of people will they be? What kind of world will they live in?

We all hope for the best -- but --

Answered by Victoria
Okay.

The "future of mankind" could be sacrificed on this alter if every person who was humane were killed and burned in the crematoriums used during the Holocaust. If that was the case, since humanity is what makes humans human, mankind would cease to exist in the future.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. That's the general idea.
