“Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens.”
Maybe my view of history is a bit simplistic, but I do believe someone eventually did come to your aid.
WHO?
The U S? Only after being attacked by Japan and after Germany declared war. Do not forget, the U S government turned ships filled with German Jews away.
No sir, that is not one of our proudest moments.
Key word here is “eventually”.
The freedom of Jews from the camps was a felicitous outcome of the Allied campaign against “empirical fascism” in Europe and elsewhere. Why we did not recognize the machinations of Stalin is beyond me...
That is to say, the US and her allies were not engaged in a war to free the euro-jew population from death-camps but to eliminate the pseudo-communist “fascism” that threatened the liberty of all the theaters (Europe and Asia). As has always been reported, the Allied troops came upon the camps and were sickened by the horrors. They did not know or understand what immediately confronted them.
According to the Monroe Doctrine, we (the USA) will consistently support, defend and EXPORT liberty. This is not an empirical creed, it is a concept based in human liberty; free to be what self-determination has provided us under God’s will and desire.
Yes, by far the majority were Soviets.
The process of disposing of the Jews was well known in 1943. It was in the NT times in early 1944. Not a single bomb was dropped to stop the transport of Jews to the camps.
Yet we would run 20 sorties a night to drop papmphlets over France, the Netherlands, and Germany.
I am not a Jew, but I wonder how FDR would respond to that we’re he alive today.
We did very little to slow the process until we “stumbled” upon it.
Do you mean the Soviets?
Your memory is conveniently inconvenient. We knew about what was going on, but did nothing for a myriad of reasons. Yes, we liberated the camps after 6 million were massacred. It’s rather cheap for you to consider this as coming to their aid. At some point, our tanks would be coming through anyway.
