"On this day, Soviet troops enter Auschwitz, Poland, freeing the survivors of the network of concentration camps—and finally revealing to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there.
Auschwitz was really a group of camps, designated I, II, and III. There were also 40 smaller “satellite” camps. It was at Auschwitz II, at Birkenau, established in October 1941, that the SS created a complex, monstrously orchestrated killing ground: 300 prison barracks; four “bathhouses” in which prisoners were gassed; corpse cellars; and cremating ovens. Thousands of prisoners were also used for medical experiments overseen and performed by the camp doctor, Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death.”The Red Army had been advancing deeper into Poland since mid-January. Having liberated Warsaw and Krakow, Soviet troops headed for Auschwitz. In anticipation of the Soviet arrival, the German Gestapo began a murder spree in the camps, shooting sick prisoners and blowing up crematoria in a desperate attempt to destroy the evidence of their crimes. When the Red Army finally broke through, Soviet soldiers encountered 648 corpses and more than 7,000 starving camp survivors. There were also six storehouses filled with literally hundreds of thousands of women’s dresses, men’s suits, and shoes that the Germans did not have time to burn."
From the website: This is just a small account of the horrors that some groups of people had to endure during WWII. Only 70y ago this was happening. There was the kind of bigotry and narrow minds that roamed around and could run the world. Or try to.The US had such an important role in ending these despicable behaviors... Standing for the free world and for the rights of all people. At least that is how I have always seen or imagined the US.
Going back a bit more in history, during the anti-Semitic campaign that the Nazis embarked on, there was something now labeled "Nazi propaganda". That propaganda included newspapers dedicated to exploit the "evils" of Jews and they devious behaviors. One of them was called "Der Stuermer". In one of the front articles of this publication, titled “Who is the Enemy?”, Jews are blamed for destroying social order and claims that Jews want war, while the rest of the world wants peace.
And today, while reading an Executive Order released on the 25th from the Office of the Press Secretary on "Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States":
"(...) To better inform the public regarding the public safety threats associated with sanctuary jurisdictions, the Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.(...)"
I won't even go on to mention that these sanctuary jurisdictions are now to be deprived of Federal grants, so that alone will be a cause for an increase in crime rate.
This is a modern witch hunt. Any and all data collected in those cities will be changed and edited in order to make it look like all illegal aliens are criminals. They won't publish how much they are contributing to the communities. How much they are saving employers and how hard workers they are. They won't list crime rates for US citizens. They will be "alternative facts". Facts that any person can disprove and counter in 5 minutes, but they will be accepted as true for the government because it fits their agenda.
Today I feel the US went back 80y in time...
