'When millions would have done anything to get out, one remarkable British soldier smuggled himself into Auschwitz to witness the horror so he could tell others the truth.'

What a story!

[PA Engineer]

Wow. Thanks for the post.

[Yaelle]

Wow. Amazing. My Dad is a Holocaust survivor. Every story you hear is just so shocking and so disturbing about man’s cruelty, but within each story is nearly always a story about man’s kindness. Never again, please O L-rd.

What a courageous man. Why can’t those lefties in Hollyweird who make those anti-bush movies that never make any money, make movies about heros, real ones.

Balls of steel that one. Kudos!

Quite a guy!

According to a book I once read about Auchwitz one 12 yr old girl actually survived the gas chamber.They kept her and tested her amid much confusion over what to do with her.After a few weeks they simply shot her.

Terrible,terrible chapter in history.

Poor little one.

That's why I get so upset and angry when we got liberals teaching the next generation that the Holocaust never happened, and that's why I get so upset at the Holocaust deniers.

May I say it Jim Rob ? mods ?

GOD DAMM ALL THE HOLOCAUST DENIERS !!!

" What a courageous man. Why can’t those lefties in Hollyweird who make those anti-bush movies that never make any money, make movies about heros, real ones. "

Because it doesn't fit their agenda, they deny the Holocaust, and if they can convince enough people that it never happened, the next target on their list will be the Christians and the Jews.
If people think that it can't ever happen here in the USA, think again.

There are a great many people who consider themselves good Christians, who are deniers as well. I know some of them personally. I have a hard time understanding their reasons, which seem to be tied to the same reasons the Germans were using in attempts to justify what they were doing. I grew up just barely post holocaust, I was in Germany in 1946 as an American youngster,

I read everything written about the holocaust from my preteen years on. It didn’t matter if you were Jew, Gypsy, jailbird, homosexual, Slav, Russian, political prisoner, spy, non-germanic and I’m sure some other names as well, you too could experience the holocaust, it wasn’t strictly for Jews, although they certainly were big targets all over Europe where ever the Germans ruled.

This Christian man knew the horrors of Germany's fall from Socialism into National Socialism; Dietrich Bonhoeffer. A German Christian minister who struggled and died in defiance of the NAZIs and Adolph Hitler. Read: "The Cost of Discipleship".

Socialism is a terrible and destructive thing. They justify the means for a noble elusive unattainable end or eutopian dream. It is evil. Listen to the witness from these survivors.

Amen! The sword was the only thing that would shut the mouths of the principled, fortunately the world helped them run out of sword before they ran out of principled people. It was a close race.

Truly amazing ! Quick-get this biography &story recorded for a book or movie from this guy.

But there are lots of questions on how this plan was formulated and executed.

Cyberism in post modern man is a danger. Many seem to believe in an electronic reality; TV, Movies, Cell Phonics, computer blogging, etc. Men without chests who like it nice and know nothing of the sublime. Rip Van Winkles will awake to face a new world order now under construction. A utopia managed by Nazi Socialists. Wolves who must destroy all obstacles to their myth.
