Do the photos of Auschwitz and Buchenwald mean anything today?
I sincerely believe the photos of Auschwitz and Buchenwald should be a traveling display and be sent to every high school in the world. They should be accompanied by a lecture on why it is necessary to stop aggression as early as possible. Had England and France (who KNEW that Hitler was violating the Treaty of Versailles by re-arming Germany and building his military strength) simply stood up and confronted him its possible WWII in Europe would have been averted. Instead, they kowtowed to him and willingly believed his lies and adopted the “go along to get along” philosophy. If Neville Chamberlain doesn’t bear as much responsibility for the Holocaust as Hitler than someone else needs to be writing the history books. Unfortunately, America must aslo shoulder some of the responsibility. Our focus was on recovering from the Great Depression and we had an isolationist Congress. After all, we’d sent our boys to save England and France from German aggression in WWI, not to mention millions
