This is the last chapter, and I'll try to go out with a bang
Questions will be derived from the chapter itself and also from the many Notes that follow the chapter;

1) Of what use to men is a stone ( the Elendil Stone) that can only be used to see a place thay can never travel to?
2) What would the function of the Master stone on Eressea?
3) could one of the above mentioned stones have anything to do with the Istari being sent to Middle-earth?
4) Was Sauron hindered in his use of the Ithil-stone by the fact that he wasn't an authorized user; or how much effect could a greater man at a lesser stone have on a lessor man at a greater stone.

As a reminder? Something that will help them never to forget? Maybe it's a really weird comparison, but: why are we keeping Auschwitz?

I think that's a very interesting analogy. Reminders of what can happen if evil is left unchecked can be useful to us all.
