Quote of the Week for Wednesday, 6/3/26
βThe same day [April 12, 1945] I saw my first horror camp. It was near the town of Gotha. I have never felt able to describe my emotional reactions when I first came face to face with indisputable evidence of Nazi brutality and ruthless disregard of every shred of decency. Up to that time I had known about it only generally or through secondary sources. I am certain, however that I have never at any other time experienced an equal sense of shock.”
βI visited every nook and cranny of the [concentration] camp because I felt it my duty to be in a position from then on to testify firsthand about these things in case there ever grew up at home the belief or assumption that the stories of Nazi brutality were just propaganda. I sent communications to both Washington and London, urging the two governments to send instantly to Germany a random group of newspaper editors and representative groups from the national legislatures. I felt that the evidence should be immediately placed before the American and British publics in a fashion that would leave no room for cynical doubt.β
General Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, WWIIOf all these [Displaced Persons] the Jews were in the most deplorable condition. For years they had been beaten, starved, and tortured.β
General Eisenhower foresaw a day when the horrors of the Holocaust might be denied. He invited the media to document the scene. He compelled Germans living in the surrounding towns and any soldier not fighting at the front to witness the atrocities for themselves. They did.
The proof is readily available.

Never forget. Confront the deniers with the truth. Same today as then. The enemy repeating falsehoods may deceive the weak-willed and naΓ―ve, but righteous believers shall prevail. (John 14:16-17)

I heard a story from my dad about being brought to see one of those camps near the end of the war. We as flawed people are often ready to overlook realities that challenge our opinions and challenge us to uncomfortable actions.

Great foresight by General Eisenhower. If the media today were reporting these war crimes, we might read “Nothing to see here.”
