Do you know who the people are in the photos? The gentleman in the first picture looks remarkebly similar to Chaim Bargmann who lives and works as a tour guide in Kovno.

Fascinating read, and what a resourceful young man he is/was!

This is quite the interesting story. Romm sounds like a man who has been through the very depths of man-made hell and atrocity during his time, and not only has he lived to tell about it, but he has become a better and more prosperous person and a better Jew because of the strength he gained from the Nazi's failed attempts to destroy him.
Alas, Hitler and his thuggish Nazi's have returned to threaten us once more during his lifetime, with their spirits of absolute hatred and anti-Semetic evil inhabiting the rotten minds of the modern Muslim like a willing possession.
Remember that prayer can move mountains and your vote can secure our freedoms, and we'll meet this threat with our heads high and our teeth clenched, a unified force for justice in America and Israel. If we can only do this, the jihadists will fall as the Nazi's before them.

Soviet Army's victory over Germany saved what remained of European Jewry. Many soldiers and officers in that army were Jews.
Siding with the Soviets against the Nazis: worse choice
Ridiculous.

I like the story of Abba Kovner a lot more. He was about the same age, from the same area, yet he participated in the resistance, joined partisans, evened a score somewhat...

"Ridiculous" in what way? Enthrall us with your acumen.
Did the Soviet Communists butcher more people than the National Socialists or did they not? The answer has been clearly available for a long time.

German Nazis started World War II that took more lives and caused more destruction than any other war. Casualties in this war exceed any number of victims of Soviet regime.
At that time, you did not have to support the Soviets to join their side in fighting Nazism. And many people did that.
Ridiculous? Your judgment.

If you believe everything you read on Internet, I have a nice bridge to sell you.
But even the website you referring too, says "...there are reasons to consider Nazi Germany the worst killer of all. For one thing, while the Soviets murdered for 74 years, and the Chinese communists for nearly as long, the Nazis lasted in power for only 12 years, and for only 6 years in non-German Europe, where they did the bulk of their killing."
In addition, I would question many numbers posted there. For example, for Nazi Germany a range is given - 15 to 31 million, and then 21 million is arbitrarily chosen. For the Soviet Union, China, etc/ the total is calculated. Many figures are inflated. For example, for the Soviet Union a number of kulaks and their families are simply added to the total. These people were deported. Yes, many died. But not 100%. So, these numbers are a big question.
Now, back your original statement:
Siding with the nazis against the Soviets: bad choice
Siding with the Soviets against the Nazis: worse choice
What you are basically saying is that the United States were wrong joining the Soviet Union and Britain against Nazi Germany.
I think it is you who needs help, not me.
