There are many photographs of the horror that was Auschwitz. But HERE ARE photographs of that time and place that are horror packed in that they are perfectly normal pics of normal people having fun and enjoying their lives...people like Joseph Mengela and Richard Baur (Commandant of Auschwitz)

That "normal" human beings can create such horror; it seems that we still have a long way to go before we can call ourselves truly civilized. The German people of the 30's and 40's weren't all that different than we are today. What frightens me is that call of 1945 that "We SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER " is being forgotten, indeed there are many factions that state that the Holocaust never occurred, or if it did, it was on a far smaller scale scale than is being presented by an ambigious "Jooooish Conspiracy".

People, I KNOW it happened. My father was a victim caught up in the horror of those days. He is my link to those days....and his main statement about those days is simple: that IT HAPPENED, and we MUST NEVER FORGET.

IF we forget, we are doomed to repeat it. Don't believe that "it can't happen here"; I'm sure that if you asked the average German in 1939 about a hypothetical Holocaust, he'd deny any possiblity of it occuring in his homeland.
