On Fox News today President Obama was in Buchenwald with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. It was touching. I watched it because it is a horrible part of history and a red blot on Germany, as Angela Merkel said in her speech. We must never forget so it will never be repeated.
Those who say there was no Holocaust are in denial. Visit Buchenwald or any concentration camp, and I promise you, you will never be the same again. Our soldiers who were first on the scene and liberated some of the first survivors, couldn't even speak about the horrendous conditions in the camps and the emaciated bodies of the survivors. There are some things too horrible for the human mind to comprehend.
There is an eerie silence when you visit one of the camps. It's like walking on hallowed ground in remembrance of all who died there. You will cry, and you will be intensely angry that such a thing could ever have happened. You will think about it. The image will never leave you. You will never be the same again..........
