75 years ago Soviet troops liberated 6,000 survivors from Aushwitz. 6,000 out of 1.1 million who were there.
"...Peter Hayes, a Northwestern University professor emeritus, in his book “Why? Explaining the Holocaust,” wrote that Nazi Germany existed in a feedback loop of hate. The regime of Adolf Hitler created “an ideological echo chamber in which leaders constantly harped on the threat the Jews supposedly constituted and the need for Germans to defend themselves against it.” Again, that better explains how the Holocaust happened than why.
Why Auschwitz? Because the Nazis decided. They identified a religious minority group who were contributors to European society yet outsiders, and declared them to be enemies — vermin to be eradicated because decimating a scapegoat can be advantageous. Six million European Jews died.
Why Auschwitz? There is no logical explanation, so there cannot be a satisfying answer...."
We have American groups creating ideological echo chambers of hate. And many in those echo chambers don't believe history if they have any knowledge of it. They can't remember Senator McCarthy, let alone WWII.
