Jerry Offner offers more reasons to focus on sacrifices than not! The fact
that you/we can not answer the questions definitively is sufficient reason
to seek the answer. The focus (if indeed it is a focus) on one aspect over
another is, I believe, a reflection of our own society. If I asked the list
to either name 10 serial killers or 10 famous mathematicians and one word
describing their contribution I would not be surprised by the results, would
you? But that will not drive this list to the math history books nor will
it stimulate more studies directed towards math. The same is true with
sacrifices. Will the history profs of the future direct study away from the
Holocaust in favor of German engineering in spite of the small time slice of
history involved.
