When I was at Dachau. (Picture heavy)

5. Unbelievably, many people around the world

still think these are "fake" and thought this even before the fucking moron coined the word. Fortunately, Eisenhower and a few others were able to convince FDR to send Army photographers and cameramen into the newly liberated camps to document the atrocities. They knew at the time that some people would not believe it or attempt to discredit the evidence. Some nuts are still saying it was a made up PR ploy by governments to make the poor Nazis look bad.
When I was in France at the end of Jan. 2005 the TV showed endless movies, documentaries, etc. about the beginning of the end of liberation as The Battle of the Bulge finally made progress toward total liberation as they observed the 60th anniversary. Heads of states placed wreaths at the sites. It was a pretty big deal there. There were shows about the concentration camps that even I had not seen before. Too bad most were in French without subtitles. However, when looking at the images you really don't need many subtitles to convey the disgusting, horrific realities that had occurred. Our country needs to remind Americans more often of this recent history and how it can easily happen again. We are too shielded by distance.
