International Holocost Remembrance Day 2021

In the words of President Biden today....
  
 "The Holocaust was no accident of history. It occurred because too many governments cold-bloodedly adopted and implemented hate-fueled laws, policies, and practices to vilify and dehumanize entire groups of people, and too many individuals stood by silently. Silence is complicity. As my late friend and Holocaust survivor Tom Lantos so frequently reminded us: “The veneer of civilization is paper thin. We are its guardians, and we can never rest.”

It was on this day in 1945 that the Soviet Union troops liberated the biggest Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in what was then occupied Poland....We must always speak out against fascism.....and as Americans we must NOT remain silent to rises of fascism and hatred  in our own country .
