The Arlington National Cemetery website has scrubbed dozens of pages on gravesites and educational materials that include histories of prominent Native American, Black, Hispanic, and female service members buried in the cemetery. Only White males remain.
Man i just watched the 6888 movie recently and this makes me really sad. They had to fight that shit in WW2, got afterwards finally their recognition and now they get disrespected again. Some of them were burried there. Feel sorry for the still living members to see this happen and to see that this time the nazis are at home. I just hope we can stop this stuff happening in europe, having the US development as a big deterrent.
I’m currently listening to a podcast on the Sobibor Extermination Camp. The accounts are harrowing.
Before women were sent to the gas chamber, they’d be shaved so their hair could be used as lining for SS officers boots.
The first part of the series talked about how the Holocaust started out in small steps. Once the systems are put in place the genocide ramped up to what we think of it.
It went from segregation, to discrimination, to complete dehumanization, to genocide.
The episode follows a child that ends up getting sent to the Sobibor. Right before he gets put on the train he sees an old childhood friend that tells him “Soon I’ll see you on the store shelves as a bar of soap!”
Nazis deserved far worse than the fate many of them got. Suicide wasn’t nearly enough for these sick demented demons. They shouldve been tortured for their crimes against humanity.
It can happen anywhere.
