'Never Again!' Belongs to the Holocaust— Not an Anti-gun Rights Book and Campaign
townhall.com ^ | 6/19/2018 | Dov Marhoffer

I am a Holocaust concentration camp survivor. I am one of a rapidly dwindling number of eyewitnesses to the Nazi Holocaust, the most systematic genocide of all time.

Today, misinformed students cynically led by progressives are using that event and its rallying call to confiscate guns and turn them over to government—the exact opposite of the core lessons to be learned. This is so fundamentally wrong no justification can excuse it. Naming a book Never Again!—which is a desperate call to arms—to address drug-addled, video-mesmerized, psychotic, murderous classmates —misappropriates and reverses the central messages and lessons of the Holocaust.

Thank you Mr. Marhoffer. Sadly, these little assclowns and many others have shown they have ZERO respect for history or their elders. They're just waiting for old white guys to pass away so they can further their agenda.

When socialists don’t find history flattering enough for them, they change it. They can never learn from it.

Phrases don’t belong to any event.

Political correctness often starts when folks start sectioning off bits of the language and saying it’s theirs, hand off.

Opposing even primitive forms of political correctness is necessary.

I don’t care for the gun control nuts, but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna support what could easily flower into a new expression of political correctness.

While I obviously do not support anti-gun groups, groups do not own words. This whole idea of these are our words, claims of misappropriation are simply wrong.

It is my personal mission to make sure the outrages of the past I witnessed are not tragically repeated by future generations...

I am a registered Democrat

Good luck with that.

Then you're part of the problem, Mr. Marhoffer. It's a tragedy to reach old age and still not have accumulated wisdom...

Hogg also hijacked the deaths at Pulse nightclub, they were a terrorist attack by an Islamonazi upset at Obama’ drone strike policies.

“Today, misinformed students cynically led by progressives are using that event and its rallying call to confiscate guns and turn them over to government—the exact opposite of the core lessons to be learned.”
That’s the problem today. The progressives have hijacked the education system from el/hi to colleges and are teaching kids their propaganda. They don’t remember history that when the revolution starts, most educators are among the first to be loaded on the boxcars.

There have been many genocides, including since WWII Germany - which was not exclusively about Jews. (Read Sophie’s Choice.)

What about the horrors of Communist China toward its people?
