The Importance Of Knowing And Remembering Holocaust History

It's important also to remember that while the majority were Jews, as sadly most people think, there were many other 'non-desirables' thrown into the death camps as well.

It is not only important to remember the holocaust but also how it came to be and how citizens were brought to be monsters by a tyrant.

What a beautiful woman and advocate for human dignity, social growth and justice for all in America.

What I remember is the American Veterans who fought for those freedoms and are still dying today more often than not trying to make ends meet. Speaking of family and friends.

Through Henry Ford's newspaper, The Dearborn Independent, one could read his regular installment of "The International Jew: The Worlds Foremost Problem." The conspiratorial forgeries, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" played no small part as the basis of these writings....Charles Lindbergh, prior to our WW2 involvement, and as unofficial speaker for the "America First Committee", described Europe's fight with the Nazi's as a squabble within the family. (white Race) He openly and specifically called out Jews for fomenting and pushing the US into war.

Friendly reminder that the leader of the GQP said that white supremacists in Charlottesville were "very fine people."

Once my son is a little older, I will be sure to take him to the Smithsonian’ Holocaust Museum as well th African-American Museum. I want him to feel pride in our people and know what happens when one ignores anti-Semitism.

My kibbutz collected and filmed survivors’ stories. I remember the first time I saw a survivor’s’ tattoo: I was in Israel. I was shocked and humbled and horrified. She was a stranger, and I had an overwhelming urge to hug her. Of course, I didn’t. I will honour her experiences by advocating against antisemitism and by being proud of my Jewish ancestry and experience.

Justice for all victims of the haulocast including the the men women and children killed in unnecessary wars and colonialism

Mrs Clarissa is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy

America is Blessed to have President Trump 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THE KHWARAZMIAN EMPIRE?

[shirleymclean]

Does anyone know if black supremacist Whoopi was fired for her racist remarks? I think it's time for the left wing propaganda show to have a QUALIFIED moderator anyway

[nicolaswalter]

America is blessed and will always be blessed.

I always FF through Joe Scarborough - what a blow hard. I appreciate the guests but the hosts will always ensure I never tune into Morning Joe.
