The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking
New York Times ^

Posted on 03/02/2013 9:42:07 AM PST by mnehring

THIRTEEN years ago, researchers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum began the grim task of documenting all the ghettos, slave labor sites, concentration camps and killing factories that the Nazis set up throughout Europe.

The researchers have cataloged some 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to Russia and Germany itself, during Hitler’s reign of brutality from 1933 to 1945.

That has to be the worst title of the year so far.

Nazis and abortion.

Scary how it reminds me of one of the political parties in America. Including obama voting against the "Born Alive" bill in Illinois....

sites euphemistically named “care” centers, where pregnant women were forced to have abortions or their babies were killed after birth

Thanks for posting this. It never occurred to me that the full extent of the Nazi death camps had never been full cataloged. You always hear and read about the major camps, but I've never before heard of the simply unbelievable extent of their killing and extermination machine.

My first clue came when my daughter studied in Italy when she was a junior in high school. We took a family trip to pick her up in May 2006. She had the most wonderful host family in the small town of Fossoli near Carpi. Her Italian "Dad" took us to a local Nazi concentration camp in Fossoli and it struck me at the time "what in the world is a Nazi concentration camp doing here in this small town in Italy?" Before that, I didn't know the Nazis were exterminating the Jews in Italy, too.

This article helps piece the entire story together.

Sent this to my Congressional reps:

“THIRTEEN years ago, researchers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum began the grim task of documenting all the ghettos, slave labor sites, concentration camps and killing factories that the Nazis set up throughout Europe.

What they have found so far has shocked even scholars steeped in the history of the Holocaust.

The researchers have cataloged some 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to Russia and Germany itself, during Hitler’s reign of brutality from 1933 to 1945.”

This tragedy is exactly what happens when a people allows its government
to disarm them.

I have written you gentlemen several times on the need to preserve our
Second Amendment against erosion by our federal government, most recently
about the spate of knee-jerk gun control measures proposed by Feinstein
and a host of others. Some of you have replied that ‘you will listen to
the opinions of all your constituents before taking a stance on our Second
Amendment’ That’s very ‘democratic’ of you but there is one problem—we
don’t live in a democracy (mob rule)—our Founders instituted a
Constitutional Republic.

I can PROMISE you that the firearm-owning voters will not sit still for
the slightest infringement on our 2ND Amendment, and if you enjoy your
job, I would encourage you to remember that.

How dare you use sarcasm without the sarcasm tag for the sarcastically challenged.

> Please enlighten us on why you think it doesn’t matter.

It’s a joke, son, I say, it’s a joke.

It’s a take off on Hitlery’s comments to the Congress about Benghazi, remember?

Do we need the /sarc tag after every play on words?

1943 was 70 years ago. Take in mind that this is from the New York Times. How many holocaust survivors and their descendant's live in NY? About time for them to cover the scale of this evil?

Do you think the New York Times will admit that the NAZIS were the “National Socialist” Party? I think not, the NYT protects at all cost the Socialists.

The real puzzle to me is how so many Jewish people are socialists.

Yeah, does it matter that there is no sarc tag? /s

Wait until we find out what is taking place in the North Korean hellhole right now when that information will become available in the future.

And even then, we will have learned nothing because there will be enough deniers of the truth.

Thanks for sharing those photos.

The Final Solution even reached all the way into Africa, where several hundred Jews from Libya were killed, and to the Jewish community on the island of Rhodes, off the coast of Turkey.

Here’s whats interesting about the comment...”why does it matter?”....it was a joke=take off on Hilary’s comment...but the response here demonstrates just how awful her comment really was!
No one would think you would say that after Benghazi..but she did and got away with it.

I wonder if she would have said the same thing about the black girl (that was at obama’s innaugural)shot dead in Chicago, “what does it matter if she got shot dead by a thug or just somebody that wanted to go out and shoot black girls?”

Yes, but they were cut exactly like the nazi’s used. Also the same gray color.

I’m really surprised the Freepere here didn’t get that quote and you had to explain it. Just shows how the general public has forgotten. Hillary gets away with another one. Probably need to put it in quotes in the future.

All that’s keeping us and this country from the same fate are the NRA, and the millions of patriots who remain dedicated to the 2nd Amendment. Those who are actively trying to dismantle it deserve no less than the EXACT same scorn and disgust as the Nazi murderers and other evil tyrants throughout history.

Because what they desire is a populace weak and unable to defend themselves. They don’t care about you one bit. You’d have a bullet to the back of your head if they had their way.

If the majority of us were thinking straight, we’d lock these vermin up (DiFI and others) and kick them in their collective heads ...then spit upon them and take pictures for everyone to see for even TRYING it. They deserve to be pariahs in any society.

We were able to visit Dachau during our tours in Germany. You could still just smell the death in that place ....even 50 years later.

Unless I’m mistaken, didn’t the Times have a major role in covering up these actions WHILE THEY WERE OCCURRING?

Given the information available to them they did an O.K. job of covering the holocaust. Check out the articles on pgs. 7 and 8 of today's WWII + 70 Years post.

N.Y. Times, March 2, 1943.
