Germany should foot the whole bill not the American taxpayer.

[Mmogamer]

Let the Germans pay for it, they built it.

[llevrok]

I don't agree with 99.9% of what the Clintons do, but on this one, I'll approve.

[Sacajaweau]

Could this be about the Jewish vote?? Naw...my imagination..

[EagleUSA]

The German liberals do not give a hoot. Their shame should be enough motivation to fund the entire effort.

[kbennkc]

There , that should make any Jews losing hope in Hussein feel much better. Israel will be nuked within 5 years, but there will be funding for a nice museum.

[raybbr]

Fifteen million is a small price to pay for this.

Have any of you detractors been there? I have. It's one of the single most moving experiences of my life. Walking down the railroad tracks where a million people traveled to their death should be preserved for all time. It's a horrible place but needs to be kept there for all to experience.

Looking out of the window to the "wall of death" one can only imagine the fear and horror a million people felt knowing they were going to die.

[Gerish]

"The preservation and continuation of Auschwitz-Birkenau is essential so that future generations can visit and understand how the world can never again allow a place of such hatred and persecution to exist," the State Department said in announcing the grant. "It is also an important educational tool to show those who doubt that the Holocaust ever existed that indeed, tragically, it did."

What a hypocritical statement. We have such places of hatred and death right here in America in almost every major city located in many black neighborhoods, namely Planned Parenthood!

[whence911]

We’ve been there. I vote to preserve the history.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

So how big a border fence would that money have paid for?

[Nachum]

And Obama didn’t say a word about this. Gave the job to Hillary.

[al baby]

That’s nice she can have it wired from her Cayman Island account

[bt579]

We alreaDY paid our fair shere .....in BLOOD.

[RnMomof7]

WE CAN NOT AFFORD THIS

[Revolting cat!]

Museum of Death.

[UnwashedPeasant]

$15 million is probably just a very small part of the Obama budget for building and maintaining concentration camps.

[thesharkboy]

Just another thing the federal government has no right to fund, but, hey, it makes me feel good, so I’ll support it. After all, it’s all about feelings, right?

[purplelobster]

I think the camp needs to be preserved, but the $75 million donated by the German government seems satisfactory to do the job. This is another example of this Administration’s financial incempetance. Barry has no skills except throwing money at a problem while over-allocating funds and not installing any oversight. I would have no problem with donating if there appeared to be a danger that the German government/people were not going to step up to the plate, but there’s no indication of that. Barry and Hlllary need to get over their peevish undermining of Merkel.

[dfwgator]

Let the Germans pay for it, they built it.

But.....but.....I thought was those evil anti-semitic Poles who built it.

(That's actually what a lot of people do believe)
