Auschwitz survivor forgives former white supremacist

When Adams was 4, his mother married an American soldier, and Adams grew up alternating between the United States and Germany, moving wherever his stepfather was based.

"I had a great childhood. My mother loved me; my stepdad loved me," Adams said. "But I remember growing up that a certain amount of pride and entitlement engulfed my thinking about the superiority of the white race."

...

"That's where I got in community with hundreds of other people that believed what I believed," Adams said. "We wanted to see our white race protected for generations to come. We did not want to see a world with anyone but us."

The gang was preparing for racial holy war where the white race would be the victors, preserving the world for themselves and their children. Thomas used to travel to Billings periodically to recruit believers, and he also had a hand in the white supremacist events that led up to the Not in Our Town campaign.

...

Kor, after Adams had left, said Adams was just one of many descendants of the Nazis she has met over the years. They have a particularly difficult time, she said, because they are inculcated from such a young age with a philosophy that they have a difficult time leaving behind.

She called Adams and others like him ones who have "switched from being a hater of humanity to ones who love it, from being a problem to being a solver."

The headline, translated:

Auschwitz = nazis
"white supremacy" = American republicans
Criticizing Obama or non-white thugs = nazism.

This is the sole take-away as far as the media is concerned.

The irony is that the Democrats and the Nazis are so much alike, they’re both socialists. The Nazis weren’t right-wingers, they were Leftists.

There is forgiveness and then there is making amends. The two are not the same. People can say “I’m sorry’’ when what they’re really trying to do is change your mind.

Thanks for the ping.

So, what did he do that required her forgiveness? I seem to have missed that from the article.

Did he go out and play "knockout game" against blacks or Jews? Did he mug people? Did he murder anybody? Did he rob anybody?

If all he did was hang out with people who didn't like blacks (and did not commit any actual crimes against anybody), then he had a First Amendment right to not like anybody for any reason.
