19. I felt the cold sting of ice water in the pit of my stomach when I read the post...
to which you are responding. I cannot believe this individual has truly been in communication with survivors of Nazi Germany. Their anguish right now is almost too overwhelming to bear and it is one more story being completely ignored by the media.
Drawing comparisons is distasteful only because Americans like to imagine themselves as paragons of virtue and human rights champions. Sadly, our policies are far from either and getting worse. Anyone who is offended by being compared to the rise of Nazi Germany needs to dive into some history books, preferrably into the 20s and 30s--not just the 40s, and wake up and smell the coffee.
