Today is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. I've shed more than a few tears today while reading the accounts of survivors returning to the camp to mark this date. Do yourself a favor and read a few yourself.
We must never get to a point where the world forgets the horrors inflicted upon the Jews, Catholics, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Disabled and everyone else the Nazi's deemed unworthy of life within the so-called "Third Reich's Master Race".
There is no pretending these terrible acts "weren't that bad" or trying to prove the Holocaust did not happen. There just isn't. We must face our past, learn from it and never, never, NEVER let it happen again.
With the rise of Religious Extremism, Antisemitism and hatred is on the rise once again across Europe and the rest of the world is, seemingly, turning a blind eye (again). I don't care who you are or what your beliefs are, there is a group of people out there who would do to you exactly what was done to those I mentioned above both before and during World War II. Don't think for a moment that you would be safe or exempt, because you wouldn't.
Don't let history repeat itself.............
