This is a link to a video of nearly an hour that depicts the horror that the British military discovered at Bergen-Belsen after the Nazis were defeted. It was partially directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It is very hard to watch, but I believe, necessary so as not to forget what man can do to his fellow man.

I will finish watching tomorrow. Thanks for posting.
Man’s incredible inhumanity toward his fellow man never fails to deeply sadden me.
I’ve often wondered how perpetrators of such things justify it to themselves so they can go on living.

Everyone who visits Europe needs to visit Auschwitz. It was heart-wrenching. I stood at the entrance of one room and just cried until my priest came over and talked with me.
At that time I was walking with a cane and had not gone through a hip replacement. The room was filled with canes, crutches, prostheses, etc. from people who had been killed.
First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.~Pastor Martin Niemöller
Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.
When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.
Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.
Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

Disturbing and depressing. I almost wish I hadn’t forced myself to watch all of this, but now I am of the opinion that every person in this country should be forced to watch it and understand what the end results of the leftist agenda is all about, IMO.
This reminds me of Communism and Islam. To think we have one in the White house makes me shudder.
I visited Dachau. It was permeated with evil. I’ll never forget it...the crematoriums and the gas houses.....
I posted this on Facebook, I have to wonder how many people took the time to watch it.
Bttt
I did, too...and I did just watch the whole thing. I might not sleep tonight. :\

Thank you!
Heed the warning? Within a couple of years Stalin had began an extermination program that made this look like a picnic, and nobody cared. Mao managed to outdo Stalin and look how much business we do with China. Meanwhile the Soviets will be hosting the next Olympics. The only reason we hear about Germany is because they lost. Society hasn't learned a thing except how to conveniently forget.
