On 1/27/1945, Auschwitz was "liberated."

Int'l Holocaust Remembrance Day (Jan 27) can help us remember the evil humans can do.

These Life Mag. photos introduced many Americans to the depths of Nazi depravity & atrocity.

Why We Resist

Ruth Ben-Ghiat
The only thing we should fear is that we will surrender our homeland to be plundered by a gang of liars, thieves, and hypocrites. That we will surrender, without a fight, voluntarily, our own future and that of our children.
