Original Auschwitz Blueprints Found


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and "Bild" newspaper editor Kai Diekkmann



"There are those who deny that the Holocaust happened," Benjamin Netanyahu said as he accepted the documents as a gift to Israel's Holocaust memorial, where they will go on display next year.
"Let them come to Jerusalem and look at these plans, these plans for the factory of death."


And I suppose it's better. I can't stand when people claim that the holocaust was a hoax.
oh really, good sir, then what were all those corpses from?
but seriously;
I have always contemplated that important historical events could be hoaxes, but the evidence was far too convincing, gruesome, and real for me to consider it for this one.

"These plans have an important function — they remind us of a crime that, with the passing of time, seems ever more incomprehensible," Diekmann said. "It is of the utmost importance to continue to be reminded of it."

okay, that is all well and good, but then i read that.
remind us?
and its of the utmost importance for us to be reminded?
alright. sure guys. anyone remember that whole "Never Again" thing? that campaign saying they
couldn't let genocide happen again.
ahem, ahem, D
arfur?
excuse me, i said D
arfur.
in D
arfur people are being killed, innocent people, chosen because of something physical, not personal.
i suppose the only reason that those "never again" folks could say its not genocide is because it isn't organized, but carried out by rebels and citizens roaming the streets with guns.
its not in camps, so it
isn't serious? is that what this is?

in fact i searched genocide in D
arfur and the first page was wikipedia.
okay i will be honest, I
don't know a lot of details about Darfur, but i know people are being killed by the hundreds.
it sounds an awful lot like genocide to me.

i know that the united states is most likely worried about getting involved with other peoples affairs.
hah. "affairs".
but maybe the people saying "never again" should look south east and acknowledging that its happening right now.

I'm not ignorant to the fact that people are trying to help:
genocide intervention
world vision
crisis group

but when people say things like this:
"We cannot allow those who wish to perpetrate mass death, those who call for the destruction of the Jewish people or the Jewish state to go unchallenged," Netanyahu said.


They're saying that those who want to end the existence of
Jewish people should be challenged, i agree.
but
isn't it just as important to save others as well?
