From United Press International
Feb. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. Vice President Mike Pence joined Polish President Andrzej Duda Friday in a visit to the infamous Auschwitz death camp to pay tribute to Holocaust victims.
An estimated 1.3 million people were sent to Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945 where they faced starvation, brutal forced labor and execution. The German Gestapo sent people to the camp who were suspected of clandestine activities against the Nazi party. Only about 200,000 survived.
Pence and Duda placed a wreath on a stand with the banner that read, "From the People of the United States of America."
Second Lady Karen Pence and Polish First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda broke away from the tour group to lay roses inside one of the camp's gas chambers and crematoriums, where thousands of people were put to death.
COMMENT:-
The intent of posting this article is to see if people can identify the "problem" that is apparent in the second paragraph and, hopefully discuss both the causes and cures.
This article has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE "ISRAEL/PALESTINE" SITUATION - it's to do with the way that Nazi German activities are (seemingly) being described now.
PS - Regardless of my personal opinions regarding the activities of "Team Trump" I agree, completely, with remembering the 15,000,000+ murdered by the Nazis in an effort to ensure that that doesn't happen again as a result of ANY government scapegoating ANY minority ANYWHERE in an effort to bolster its own support.
