When General Dwight Eisenhower saw the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect:
"Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This post is made in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beat, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people refused to accept it or simply looked the other way!
Now Iran , among others, claims the Holocaust to be 'a myth'. It is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
