UK removes Holocaust history from text books
It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke.
This week, the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.
This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the
almost six million Jews,
23 million Russians,
10 million Christians
and 1,900 Catholic priests
(*according to nearly every official estimate ever tabulated)
who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way, and to the 45,000 Canadian, 383,000 British, 39,000 Australian and 417,000 US military service members who sacrificed their livesto put down the warmongers who perpetrated it.
417,000, by the way, was a third of one percent of the total US population at the time. If we were forced to fight another war against the same kind of tyranny today and expected the same percentage of losses, we would lose a million of our brave young military loved ones. With the rise of militant Islam, we appear to be headed that way, and if we continue to appease them in the name of political correctness, which is obviously an oxymoron in itself, we will be burying them soon enough.
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
