They meant to print:

“Would make a great addition to any GOVERNMENT office”

...to keep the thought fresh in the minds of the peasants that might want to disagree with the present day government supremacists...such as those in riot gear that recently brought in a bunch of foreign invaders and placed them in an American town by force against the People's will.

Government offices might put “Your future, should you choose to disobey or disagree”

When I was about 12-13 my Dad took us on a tour of Europe (He was Army & stationed at Baumholder). The tour included Dachau - a very sobering experience, even for a young man.

Fear not, ye Loyalists to THE CULT OF OBAMANATION, because the above listed link promises to sell similar images to further connect Obama to Hitler with this quote:

” - - - We can’t find the product you are looking for, but we have similar items for you to consider. - - - “

Visited Dachau twice. The property is maintained by a convent of Nuns (or was when I visited) To tell the truth, I found the compound so sanitized that it was difficult to imagine the crimes that occurred there.

Nice. To 'celebrate' the 4th of July, no less.

I like this one better. Note the top of the window:

Believe it or not, sometimes the content end of web projects gets offshored to India too.

My grandfather was in the Army and among the early wave of American troops to enter the camps. He spoke only a few times to me about the horror he saw over there. I know he’d find the idea of a wall decoration of a concentration camp to be the worst idea. Someone thought it was, though.

And we wonder how things happen again.

This link has a bunch of oral interviews with people. A relative of mine was interviewed in 2008 : Robert Duoos.

In his he talks about going into a camp a few days after it was liberated. In the medical offices saw lamp shades of human skin, a full body sliced in half, the piles of bodies, etc.

I don’t see the problem.
I think Walmart should sell that print, people shouldn’t forget.
If they are selling something that they are not willing to represent as “a great addition to your home or office” what are they proposing you do with it?
If you don’t know what that image represents, Walmart can’t help you.
And yes, it should be required in all government offices.

I bet this was some computer-generated response. The poster was probably categorized as something for an office and then the computer mindlessly added this tag line.

“..people shouldn’t forget..”

My daughter did a presentation on the Holocaust in 9th grade - no one in her class knew anything about it! In 10th grade they did get to that part in World History. However, I wonder how many of those kids will remember, and it will be just another forgotten history lesson - like me and knowing the name of the King of France in 1728?

Although my kids read several books on it, and I think they were required reading. Too bad that the schools don’t make more of a connection between the over-reach of Hitler and the over-reach of present-day governments.

It might be a good poster to have to see the reactions from co-workers, and see if they have any knowledge of it what-so-ever.

I envision Walmart ending their relationship with “The Poster Corp”, who, I guess like Wayfair.com, ToolKing.com and others pay Walmart to advertise, and offer their goods on the Walmart.com Website.
