Today is Holocaust Remembrance day which coincides with the liberation of Auschwitz by the Soviet army on January 27, 1945, 76 years ago today. General Dwight Eisenhower, in his infinite wisdom, suspected that there would be those in the future who would deny the Holocaust ever happened. He assured that would not happen because he ordered the filming of those atrocities.

SGT (Join to see) Perhaps Great Britain should show those films to the Muslims that refuse to accept the Holocast and want it removed from the school curriculum.

That is why they have the disclaimer at the beginning showing this is a true story because Eisenhower New some Sierra Oscar Bravo would claim that this was not true and that's why you have that certification at the beginning for idiots like David Duke or the Iranians who claimed that the holocaust never happened.@

Eisenhower’s Foresight: Protecting the Truth of the Holocaust

Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the noble effort of Dwight D Eisenhower to educate and reduce chances for fools to deny what happened to Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, etc.

Despite his efforts radicalized and run-of-the-mil Muslims and others insist the holocaust never happened. Even some members of Congress think the holocaust is a myth.
Eisenhower’s Foresight: Protecting the Truth of the Holocaust
Holocaust, Hebrew Shoʾah, Yiddish and Hebrew Ḥurban (“Destruction”), the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. The Germans called this “the final solution to the Jewish question.” The word Holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God. This word was chosen because in the ultimate manifestation of the Nazi killing program—the extermination camps—the bodies of the victims were consumed whole in crematoria and open fires.

Background from {[https://newspapers.ushmm.org/events/eisenhower-asks-congress-and-press-to-witness-nazi-horrors]}
"In late 1944 and early 1945, as Allied troops defeated the German army and moved across Europe into Germany, they encountered tens of thousands of concentration camp prisoners.
Soviet forces were the first to approach a major Nazi camp, reaching Majdanek near Lublin, Poland, in July 1944. Later, the Soviets liberated Auschwitz, the largest killing center and concentration camp, in January 1945. In the following months, the Soviets liberated additional camps in the Baltic states, Poland, and eventually in Germany itself. In April and May 1945, the British liberated Nazi camps in northern Germany, including Bergen-Belsen and Neuengamme.
The first Nazi camp liberated by US forces was Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald (the main camp would be liberated one week later). The 4th Armored Division and the 89th Infantry of the Third US Army entered Ohrdruf on April 4, 1945. When soldiers of the 4th Armored Division entered the camp, they discovered piles of bodies, some covered with lime, and others partially incinerated on pyres. The ghastly nature of their discovery led General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, to visit the camp on April 12, with Generals George S. Patton and Omar Bradley. After his visit, Eisenhower cabled General George C. Marshall, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, describing his trip to Ohrdruf:
The things I saw beggar description. … The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick ... . I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”
Seeing the Nazi crimes committed at Ohrdruf made a powerful impact on Eisenhower, and he wanted the world to know what happened in the concentration camps. On April 19, 1945, he again cabled Marshall with a request to bring members of Congress and journalists to the newly liberated camps so that they could convey the horrible truth about Nazi atrocities to the American public. Within days, congressmen and journalists began arriving to bear witness to Nazi crimes in the camps.
The discovery of the Ohrdruf camp, and the subsequent liberation of Dora-Mittelbau (April 11), Flossenbürg (April 23), Dachau (April 29), and Mauthausen (May 5) opened the eyes of many US soldiers and the American public to the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
Thank you my friend CSM Charles Hayden for mentioning me.
