I've spent a couple of days watching the end of WWII in Europe... [View all]

especially the death camps.

I've known about them for years, of course, but each time I see a bit more, I am outraged and can't understand how people can do this. Even Eisenhower, as the war was dying down, was shocked at what he saw at Birkenau. Allied troops were outraged as they put down their weapons of war and helped the Red Cross. Some stormed SS redoubts and killed even Germans surrendering. Others married survivors of the camps

During all of this, as I see the stomach-turning torture and destruction, I wonder if the pseudo-Nazis these days have any idea what they are talking about...

And then there's Putin.
