So many of those who saw/experienced Concentration camps first hand are dying or dead
It is too bad
Because some people only believe what they themselves see first hand
It will be so much easier for the Deniers to attempt to change historical truth when eyewitnesses are gone...

Thanks for posting that...
This is why General Eisenhower made sure to document and to bring German citizens and politicians into the camps. He said that some day no one would believe what happened.

It was standard Army policy by Eisenhower's decree
And I think the British did the same thing
Don't know about other Allied forces...
I would have totally supported the Brad Pitt method for making Nazis easily recognized after WWII
General Thayer is a descendant of Sylvanus Thayer, who is known as the "Father of West Point".
RIP, sir.
My younger son came home with a different viewpoint of WWII after visiting a former concentration camp in Poland. There is at least one person in his generation who is not Jewish who will not forget the Holocaust.
We were a bunch of young, idiot soldiers in W. Germany and our plt took a trip to Dachau. It was a sobering, horrifying trip to the past; one that shut up even the most juvenile, moronic person on the trip.
A couple of years ago I was next to a lady in the waiting room of the VA in Birmingham. She was waiting for her husband and we started talking. It turns out she was a Ravensbruck survivor. This lovely, well spoken woman with her heavily accented English had survived the unthinkable. She married her American soldier that she had met in the aftermath of the war.
People should have the chance to see the places of such inhumane behaviors and to meet someone who survived and managed to thrive after being treated as less than an animal.
We cannot forget. We cannot allow ourselves to normalize the type of behavior that is once again starting to rear it's ugly head in society.

The Brad Pitt method was used by the OSS (the precursor of the CIA) I personally knew one of the members of what Brad Pitt called The Inglorious Bastards
They would drive into the town squares in Nazi attire, scream Heil Hitler and kill anyone who saluted back
I saw his documentation and photos before they were shipped to Yad Vashem (or, the Wiesenthal Center, it was years ago and I forget which)
