Holocaust Remembrance Day

The problem with most issues is that they get hijacked by the majority at the expense of others. There is no denying the largest group to suffer from the holocaust were the Jews but they were not the only casualties of this horrendous "final solution" exercise acted out by Germany. As is highlighted by the explanation following the Presidential statement.

"The Holocaust was the systematic genocide of European Jewry by Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. More than six million Jews were murdered, along with Gypsies, gay people, political dissidents and others that the Nazi regime found undesirable".

Today anyone likely to acknowledge Holocaust Remebrance Day will know its origins. This whole thread feels like yet another attempt to knock Trump but by using the Holocaust to do so says more about those against him than the man himself.

Having physically traveled the route of the Holocaust across Europe from inception to trial it raises the question of what humanity has come to when it uses such suffering for such a cheep shot at anyone and anything in society today .

 

I agree that it was an event that engulfed other whole groups that the Nazis felt were dangerous, inferior, undesirable, etc., and that it wasn't just the Jews. I also think its biased an unfair when people try to emphasize just the Jewish aspect of it, and call you racist, unsympathetic, etc., if you don't mention just the Jews.

The direct Jewish action and the first Einsatzgruppen began during the Polish campaign in 1939.
