To think there are holocaust deniers in this world is shocking to the conscience. Ignorance is blind to the suffering of others.

hopefully he raises awareness of who liberated the camp.

As if we don't have enough 'awareness' yet How about the Armenian Genocide and our NATO buds Turkey? If ANYTHING needs more awareness it is the fact Turkey denies it to this modern Woke day🙄

Good to remember, hopefully they remember all the Palestinians& all murdered by hatred. The same hatred the Israelis experienced has now spewed on the Palestinians.I hope Israel remember they too were captured by the oppressors. Now Palestina cries for to be liberated.

“This kind of mass terror (by the Nazis), which still operated on a comparatively small scale, increased steadily because neither the police nor the courts seriously prosecuted political offenders on the so-called Right.” —Hannah Arendt Does this not seem to be happening again?

Good thing that Russians are not invited! Not like they had anything to do with the liberation of Auschwitz...

It is a terrible irony today's Repubs are attacking human rights,vilifying and dehumanizing LGBTQ just the same as the German yatzees. Trump Repubs ripped babies out of their mother's arms and kept them in camps, ready to commit crimes against humanity.

God bless. Thank you for encouraging open discussion with my kids who are middle schoolers now. 💙
