Never again...
Eisenhower warned us...
It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect:
'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.'
This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. We need to keep alive the memory of the millions upon millions of individuals who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people and the world looked the other way!
Now, with many voices claiming that the Holocaust was 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets mans inhumanity toward man.
