led directly to the furnaces of Auschwitz.

As much as it pains me to recommend an production that aired on PBS...
“Auschwitz; Inside the Nazi State” is a keeper.

With the exception of most of the “intermission” discussions led
by lib-nut Linda Ellerbe.

Ten to twenty times as many people were murdered by their communist governments than by the Nazis.

Perhaps it doesn’t surprise you to read that prominent European politicians held these views. But why doesn’t it? It is impossible to imagine that figures who had enjoyed such close ties to the Nazi Party—or, for that matter, to the Ku Klux Klan or to South Africa’s apartheid regime—would enjoy top positions in Europe today. The rules are different, apparently, for Communist fellow travelers. “We now have the EU unelected socialist party running Europe,” Stroilov said to me. “Bet the KGB can’t believe it.”

Because the boogyman of the USSR no longer exist (but doesn’t it?).

The fear of Soviet tanks rolling across Europe is no longer in the back of peoples’ minds. The specter of the Berlin Wall has been dismantled.

People no longer have a real fear of Communist infiltration (Hey; they are already the government, it’s to late to worry about it).

The generation that has just started to vote and just helped elect our first Communist President did not grow up with “Duck and Cover”, they also have not learned of the horrors that Communist Governments inflicted on their own people.

The reason that no one is interested in translating the USSR archive documents is the same reason that “We now have the EU unelected socialist party running Europe”.

I see nothing wrong with nationalism, radical nationalism is another animal. the same as islam is different from radical islam. Both lead to death for the supposed infidel.

“I know the time will come,” Stroilov says, “when the world has to look at those documents very carefully. We just cannot escape this. We have no way forward until we face the truth about what happened to us in the twentieth century. Even now, no matter how hard we try to ignore history, all these questions come back to us time and again.”

He is wrong about that.

Time marches on regardless of what we do or do not do.

But if we do not learn from the past, if we do not try to avoid the mistakes of others, if we do not change the failed murderous policies of communism it will be imposed on us again and we will spend another 70 or more years fighting to escape it.
