This month marks the 70th
anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. I try to give credit
where credit is due whenever possible. Thusly with this.
I was listening to the John Batchelor
Show on Monday, 1/26/15 with Malcolm Honlein and Thaddeus McCotter
about this. TM made one of the most important statements I have yet
heard, and I paraphrase.
Every political leader should be
required to visit the camp and related museum in Poland. It will
remind them of the dangers and evil of power. The fact that the
villains were Nazis and the innocent victims Jewish is rather beside
the point. This tragedy, regardless of the identity of those
involved, is a stain upon the soul of the human race. Period. Full
stop. ICYW, I am neither Jew, Muslim, nor Christian, which makes this
even more stomach-churning, because it seems to be so senseless.
I agree: never forget, or this tragedy
shall be repeated.
