Thank you for posting this.
And yet we still have those who would defend the UN in it's current inhumanity to those who need their protection.
The list of those slaughtered under the eyes of Kofi Anan is long.
We were in Germany in 1998 & 2000 and we toured Dachau Concentration Camp on one of those trips. They had photos of the victims they had liberated. We walked through the gas chambers. It was so eerie. I thought the whole time, Now we KNOW, and NEVER AGAIN, we would never again starve a human being. But we do all the time in USA, now we know, as in Terri Shaivo case. Which happens all the time here. Sad.
I think the Hitler costume was like Halloween costumes. You are supposed to dress up like a monster or demon and make fun of them and not fear them. This is why we dress up like ghosts, witches, Hillary, etc. Once you dress up like them and make fun of them and lose your fear of them, they lose their evil power over you. To me Hitler belongs in the list of demons and monsters. Kids dress like him here on Halloween and they DO NOT ADMIRE HIM. They are making fun of a monster/demon.
I pray that the young of today learn and understand the evil that was nazi Germany.

Agree! But when are we going to have them learn and understand the "Gulags" and the mass murders of Stalin's Russia? Its amazing how little we know about them and how little they are discussed.
Female US soldiers put panties over a terrorist's head. The horrors !
"Horrible" is too nice a word for it.
I've heard one Jewish man who was in a concentration camp during WWII say that when the American soldiers liberated the camp that they were so overwhelmed by what they saw that they cursed.
He said,"To us, their CURSES were PRAYERS!" To finally have someone say forcefully, "This is wrong, this is not human", validated their suffering.
1) Nazis and "fun" don't go together.
2) We should not try to lose our fear of Nazis. We should hold on to the fear, so that we can avoid future horror.
Bergen-Belsen is a sad place.

Good point! Where's the Russian version of "Schindler's List". Speaking of that movie, why does Steven Speilberg love Castro?
I disagree profoundly with you. I know people whose parents were killed in those camps, whose entire families were killed. Hitler was not a monster, he was a real person who murdered millions.
It is astonishingly sad that we have allowed time to blunt the lessons we should have learned about the Holocaust, political lies and ambitions.
The Germans were selectively ignorant of the death camps and many expressed horror when they were forced to parade through one liberated camp and see what had been done there in their name by their army and their government.
When we fast-forward to today, we see the same situations that led to WWII and the concentration camps being repeated. Yet, we have at least 2 generations of people who do not know their history and are condemned to repeat it.
International "peace-keeping" organizations such as the UN are being allowed to turn a blind eye to the real horrors being perpetrated around the world as they transform from an international peace-keeping body to a political one.
Everytime we allow our "free press" to suppress pictures and information about cataclysmic events such as WWII, 9/11, the Hutu-Tutsi genocide, etc., etc., we are blunting the memory and horror of these events and becoming tacit participants in destroying their significance.
It's always amazed me how Holocaust deniers can ignore the eyewitness accounts of countless British and American soldiers that went into those hellhole camps to liberate the pitiful survivors. The soldiers all told the same stories of the horrors they saw.
They knew it was wrong then, but today, American has forgotten. We do this in hospices across America every day now.
