Should Auschwitz Be Left to dDecay?

[Gaffer]

Apparently, physical existence and living (still) memory of the horrors committed there are lost on humanity - well, at least on the new ‘progressives’ in control of this country. Their manner, speech and newly formed plans are inching towards the very circumstances and events that perpertrated the environment for these horrors to occur all those decades ago.

??? What? Elie Wiesel is the big Holocaust nobel prize curator or something. He is slobbering over someone who has Hamas people working for him. Hamas wants to kill Jews and Israelis. 78% of (liberal) American Jews voted for someone who has close ties to Hamas. Do you need more?

See another story here about Jews in Sweden being pelted with eggs and tear gas by Muslims.

Great idea - if approached, I bet the childish madman Ahmadinajhad, in a fit of pique, would fund preservation.

Someone needs to ask Iran, regardless. It would make a point if nothing else.

[Star Traveler]

The Iranians and other Moooslims wouldn’t mind, since they know it’s a fabrication, in the first place...

I was there about a year ago and I thought the buildings were showing wear. Naturally all of the wooden structures are gone but the brick structures are still intact. I posting some pic's here from my trip:

Something as historically significant as this should be preserved for future generations to see, first hand and up close, what power in the hands of evil men can do.

The building that is blown-up is the crematoria at Birkenau. The case chamber with the smoke stack is at Auschwitz adjacent to where “Boss” (I believe)was hung. The crematorium is also ajacent to the living quarters of the camp commander. The picture of the wall is next to the building in Auscwitz that was used for summary executions.

When I was there one could feel the evil in the place.

[capydick]

You're correct on both accounts and I will never be able to figure that out.

But - it has nothing to do with preserving the death camps for future generations to see what a real madman is capable of.

[PLMerite]

What would they do, put houses there?

I cannot imagine how haunted that place must be.

Thanks. Who's gonna do it? Hillary? Fat chance (pun intended).

[reagan_fanatic]

I wish I could afford to go.

While it’s vital we look ahead, it is also important we remember the past, and keeping places like this around will give a physical presence to the horrific evil of that time.

[mmanager]

case = gas chamber

[bigheadfred]

I cannot imagine how haunted that place must be.

I suggest, if you ever get the chance, to visit one of those places.

Then not only will you be able to imagine it. YOU WILL KNOW.

[Skid Marx]

I meant: ‘What Does That Rant Have To Do With The Topic Of This Thread’?

[popdonnelly]

It’s ghastly, but it is a monument to the awful things people - and governments in particular - can do.

[deannadurbin]

National Socialist Obama needs it to remain standing. It’s his model for the future of his political enemies.

[woollyone]

hell, they’ll build a mosque on the site and claim mohammed slept there and it is the ___th holiest site in all of Islam

[DemonDeac]

It should be preserved as a warning to future generations.
