I remember.
Also, how can we forget?
We aren’t at Hitler’s Germany level, but AMERICA is experiencing’socialism’ at many levels from this administration!
Recommend a couple books….Night by Elie Wiesel…and The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom…….both authors spent time in concentration camps……Corrie at Ravensbruck, and Wiesel at Auschwitz.
I may never go to DC again, but there is an excellent and poignant Holocaust Museum there
My husband visited Dachau
Although Jews are said to be the largest group murdered by the Nazis, Russian civilians had it just as bad or worse. Not only were the Germans pushing eastward killing everyone in their path, but they were already being murdered in the millions by their own government under Stalin.
Back in 1978 there was a TV documentary about the Holocaust.
There was a scene of German soldiers running up the stairs in an apartment building rounding people up.
At the time I wondered why the people didn’t just shoot back since they were going to their deaths anyway.
Later in life I learned Europe has gun control.
Ilhan Omar’s most hated day of the year.
1 שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ יְהֹוָה׃
Shir hamma'alot mimma'amakkim keraticha Adonai. A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call You, God.
2 אֲדֹנָי שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי תִּהְיֶינָה אָזְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבוֹת לְקוֹל תַּחֲנוּנָי׃ Adonai shim'ah vekoli tihyenah azeneicha kashuvot lekol tachanunai. O God, listen to my cry; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy.
3 אִם־עֲוׂנוֹת תִּשְׁמָר־יָהּ אֲדֹנָי מִי יַעֲמֹד׃ Im-avonot tishmar-yah Adonai mi ya'amod. If You keep account of sins, God, who will survive?
4 כִּי־עִמְּךָ הַסְּלִיחָה לְמַעַן תִּוָּרֵא׃ Ki-immecha hasselichah lema'an tivvarei. Yours is the power to forgive so that You may be held in awe.
5 קִוִּיתִי יְהֹוָה קִוְּתָה נַפְשִׁי וְלִדְבָרוֹ הוֹחָלְתִּי׃ Kivviti Adonai kivvetah nafshi velidvaro hochaleti. I look to God; I look to Him; I await His word.
6 נַפְשִׁי לַאדֹנָי מִשֹּׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר שֹׁמְרִים לַבֹּקֶר׃ Nafshi L’Adonai mishomerim laboker shomerim laboker. I am more eager for God than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.
7 יַחֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהֹוָה כִּי־עִם־יְהֹוָה הַחֶסֶד וְהַרְבֵּה עִמּוֹ פְדוּת׃ Yachel yisra'el el-Adonai ki-im-Adonai hachesed veharbeh immo fedut. O Israel, wait for God; for with God is steadfast love and great power to redeem.
8 וְהוּא יִפְדֶּה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִכֹּל עֲוׂנֹתָיו׃ Vehu yifdeh et-yisra'el mikkol avnotav. It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
January 27, 1945 was the day the Russians liberated Auschwitz.
The Holocaust itself began the moment Adolf Hitler opened his mouth and the German people shut theirs.
