I am German. Just so you know: here in germany you are going to jail for holocaust denial! How can you even think about letting these people close to the white house?!? This is so very disgusting! 😢

Ask any American member of our military who were ordered in to one of the concentration camps after they were liberated about the Holocaust - LIKE MY LATE FATHER. He told me about this experience when I was 13 years old and studying the history of Germany in WWII. He was ordered into Dachau one week after its liberation and he told me what he saw. It was VERY difficult for him to tell me these stories, and when I saw how upset and sad it made him, I never asked again. My father asked me that day to make him a promise. He said this: "If you EVER see what happened in Germany starting to happen here, promise me you will NEVER remain silent and you will fight for all you are worth to stop it. Promise me." I promised him that day that I would do just that, and I will NOT remain silent, nor will I stop fighting against these treasonous SOB's, like Trump and his sycophantic, obsequious weasels. I will fight them until my last breath because to break my promise to my darling late father would be dishonorable. He was the most honorable man I have ever known. And please keep in mind that my father was a Republican his entire life. He was my hero and a hero to this nation.

I am a German. I was born in 1952, and in the early days of TV, they showed documentaries, the British and Americans have filmed, from the concentration Camps, with dead body parts piling up in the yards, pictures of survivors, and that was so disgusting. I was child then, but my parents let me watch that. These documentaries need to be shown throughout America. Afterward I want to know who is still denying the brutality of the Holocaust.

My friend's mom is 102 years old. She was a child when Hitler invaded Poland. She was put in a concentration camp in Siberia. Lost. Most of her family. The stories were horrific. Her stories were bone chilling. She is a Christian, not Jewish.

Rachel thank you for bringing the truth to the world 💖

[vickipenfound]

My grandfather was one of the many us servicemen that liberated Dachau in 1945. He shared many stories and photos of what they saw upon entering the camp prayed to God that mankind never experiences such a destructive event again.

[monikafost]

My mother is] German and grew up in that time period..she’s not Jewish and says it happened, she saw the people when Dachau was liberated and couldn’t eat for a week, she said it was the most horrific thing she ever saw perpetrated against human beings

[JerryWalker-up]

Being stationed in Germany for 2 years the German folks always treated us with pride and said that we rescued them from Hitler

[meldarnell]

Articulate, passionate and spoken with clarity. Thank you. PLEASE continue your attempts at voiceing the truth and sounding the alarms.

OMG ..this makes me so mad! My own mother was a holocaust Survivor and she had the emotional and physical scars to prove it! And the stories that she told us about what she witnessed and endured would make anybody's blood curdle! And my own father witnessed the horror that took place over there because he was stationed in Germany during World War II and he literally saved my mother and brought her to America! How dare they deny what we all know was the most horrific known atrocity in recorded history!

[theresajarman]

I am in tears!!! My Mother was from Germany! She lived through the war. She never talked about it, until she was dieing.

[lcharles]

My late father was part of an army division that liberated one of the camps. We knew people who had been in the camps and survived. These deniers are the evil ones and must be stopped.

[barbaraarndt]

I am German too. When growing up in the 50s my grandfather told me that he was hiding his Jewish friend ( our family doctor) and family in the huge cellar in his pharmacy. He was a prominent figure in his field and had connections. He smuggled the family all the way the high path of the Black Forest to the Swiss border. The Gestapo on one side and Swiss border guards on the other. They bribed the Swiss with diamonds and jewellery and were let though. From there they made their way to Chile eventually where they had relatives.
For years, my family received letters from them. This is just one of the many tragedies
that happened.
NEVER EVER AGAIN was the motto after the war.
