I had a thought today. More like a fear. It is a fear that I have had for a long time. First time I am sharing it. I am afraid of time. Time heals all wounds. Not sure if that is true or not unless you live for more than 1 lifetime. I was thinking, walking in to work today that in 10 years, maybe 20 years. Is the Holocaust going to be a part of forgotten history. According to APnews there are 245,000 living holocaust survivors. While Fox5 tells us that between 300-350,000 are still alive. The number is not so important. The stories that these people come to tell us are very important, and very real.
Unimaginable evil, that some deny even happened. Can’t imagine that they are bad people for it. Remember not everyone can take the horrors of real life. Some deny evils existence out of fear that they will bring about its fruition. Fruition is defined as: the point at which a plan or project is realized. My belief is in doing that you turn a blind eye to an evil that is very real. What we learn from the days of Adolf Hitler according to theholocaustexplained.org:
In February 1932, Hitler ran against Hindenburg to become president. Goebbel’s propaganda campaign presented Hitler as a new, dynamic and modern leader for Germany. To emphasise this point, Hitler flew from venue to venue via aeroplane. Hitler lost the election, with 36.8% of the vote to Hindenburg’s 53%. Despite losing, people now viewed Hitler as a credible politician.
Following another Reichstag election in July 1932, the Nazis became the largest party with 230 seats and 37.3% of the vote.
Hitler was not immediately appointed chancellor after the success of the July 1932 elections, despite being leader of the largest party in the Reichstag.
It took the economic and political instability (with two more chancellors failing to stabilise the situation) to worsen, and the support of the conservative elite, to convince Hindenburg to appoint Hitler.
Hitler was sworn in as the chancellor of Germany on the 30 January 1933. The Nazis were now in power.
Just remember evil is something that people make so. It is not what you see in movies, not magical, you don’t have to read about it in books. It is people who simply just don’t want you to be free. People’s freedom and prosperity are something of a sickening feeling to them. Stay away from them, evil has a way or corrupting, as propaganda does to the weak minded or willed. I hope that more survivors of the holocaust would come forward to share their stories. As disheartening as they can be to hear, it is an evil I take pleasure in keeping an eye out for a future where it can be stopped dead in its tracks. What really resonates is in the video above that his last message is “keep the world from acquiring amnesia, REMEMBER REMEMBER this happened. Bangov Actual, out.
