Trump intentionally left Jews out of holocaust statement "to recognize all other victims"

[Hamlette]

I went to Auschwitz in 1991 and there were 16 blank "head stones" at the back. I asked around and they said each carried the same message in 16 different language. The message was to commemorate the dead and it listed groups killed there. Jews were 6th after Poles, gypsies and I don't remember who else. The Soviets had carved the stones and the first thing the Jewish people and Polish people who took over Auschwitz did when the Soviets left was to grind the message off the 16 "head stones". I went back years later and they had been carved anew with a message that listed Jews first.

Trumps message came straight from Putin through Bannon. It is propaganda. It's starting here.

1. similar to "all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter"

2. Such bullshit. They easily could have mentioned all the groups who were

victims of the Nazis, but then obviously they'd have had to mention the Jews (who got the worst of it). Since Bannon and his alt-right orcs are anti-Semites, and probably Holocaust-deniers as well, they didn't want to go there. Some of the worst people in the world have taken over our government.

8. If you recall Trump bragged on camera about his superior genes and how they were Germanic....

So yeah he's got the soul of a bigot himself.

3. Revising history, as instructed by his boss in Moscow

4. I guess "The Final Solution" had nothing to do with the Jews, according to this deplorable

administration

5. Nope. Only Russian POWs were killed.

6. everything is insane

7. pictures and the current message.

The slabs now say:

FOR EVER LET THIS PLACE BE A CRY OF DESPAIR AND A WARNING TO HUMANITY, WHERE THE NAZIS MURDERED ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MILLION MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN MAINLY JEWS FROM VARIOUS COUNTRIES OF EUROPE. AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU 1940-1945

9. Trump and bannon are holocaust deniers

[TrekLuver]

10. Bannon said that he doesn't mind Jews...but organizations etc..that support him do and that's

why I think that was left out.
