Sixty years ago today, the forces of the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp and were horrified to discover what had taken place there: the systematic extermination by the Nazis of Jews, Gypsies, gays, lesbians, Soviet POW’s, and anyone else who did not fit in to the Nazi Scheme of Things.
Of course, Auschwitz was not the only place where this took place. All told, TWELVE MILLION people were exterminated…half of them were Jews.
Let that number sink into your mind…and you must wonder whether anything has been learned from the Shoah/Holocaust, given the surge in anti-Semitism coming from other countries and the constant pressure on Israel to give the Palestinians a state…the same Palestinians whose Hamas factions already show mimicry of Nazi behavior.
NEVER AGAIN, I say. NEVER AGAIN!
