President Obama tours Buchenwald, speaks out against deniers of Holocaust

[BirminghamExaminer]

Excerpt:

President Obama stopped in Germany on his way to France from Egypt. He toured the Church of Our Lady in Dresden with German Chancellor Angela Merkel before touring the former Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald near Weimar, Germany. The sign on the entrance gate in the photo (right) translates, "To Each His Own."

The president toured Buchenwald with two of its survivors, Bertrans Herz, and Elie Wiesel, and German Chancellor Merkel. They laid white roses on a memorial to those who did not survive. Buchenwald held an estimated 250,000 inmates and of those nearly a quarter were murdered.

President Obama's great Uncle, Ralph Dunham, now 92, served in the 89th Infantry Division that liberated Ohrdruf, a Subcamp of Buchenwald, the first camp liberated by Americans on April 4, 1945.

President Obama spoke out against those who would deny the holocaust took place for the second time in as many days and said the the place had not "lost its horror with the passage of time."

1. That's All Very Nice, Mr. President; but is that the most important thing today?

How about all those living, breathing, money-soaked war criminals you are shielding from prosecution or even investigation today?

2. The Nazi War Criminals

had to run to Argentina and other hide aways knowing that no one would shield them from the hands of justice. Our war criminals make speeches and sleep in warm comfy beds at night planning their liebraries.
