In Memoriam

By Pamela S. Meek

Recently the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.

This is a frightening omen of the fear that is gripping the world. Almost every country is caving into it. We ignore what is right and true to pacify those who make the most noise and threaten our way of life.

It is now more than sixty years since the Second World War in Europe ended. Six million Jews, twenty million Russians, ten million Christians and one thousand, nine hundred Catholic priests were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated while the world looked the other way. The Nazis also deliberately murdered five million non-Jews for racial, political or social reasons. Among those killed were Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, political opponents of the Nazis, the handicapped, homosexuals, artists and writers, blacks, Slavic peoples, dissenting clergy and resistance fighters. Now more than ever, with Muslim countries claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

I find all of this frightening that so many actually go along with this ignorance. If we were asking them to believe in something that had no factual proof, I could understand the disbelief, but the fact is, it did happen. We can not close our eyes and say it didn't. My Grandfather was friends for many years with a Jewish man and his wife. I saw the numbers tattooed on their arms, and I heard the anguish in their voices as they talked about their loved ones who died or were killed. Germany still bears the scares on its countryside. One can still smell the acrid smell of burning bodies in the air around many of the death chambers and furnaces that were used to kill people. How can The Holocaust be denied?

The Muslims refuse to believe it because they themselves hate the Jews. That is a fact. We can not avoid dealing with it! Our children MUST be taught the truth.

By refusing to teach what really happened and admit that it is true we do a great disservice to those who died and to those who died to save them. If Grandpa were alive today, he would be writing letters, making phone calls and going personally to knock a few heads together.
This politically correct crap has gone too far. We need to educate people that the Holocaust did indeed happen and it can happen again. In fact we are tip toeing around it because no one wants to admit that it is happening again right now. America and the UK have become the home of cowards.

I believe it is time we all wake up and see what is actually happening in the world, or one day very soon we will be finding it knocking on our very own front door. We act as if 9/11 wasn’t enough of a wake up call; just wait until we are fighting the Muslims here on our own land.
There are many who do not believe that it can happen again. Maybe gas chambers and furnaces won’t be used this time, but Bombs are already exploding all over the world. What more will we endure before we change our cowardly ways?

Today I stand and salute the flag of the United States Of America. And I offer up a prayer for the People who lived, fought and died in WWII. Let us not forget. Let us not deny the truth.

May God Help us all!
