Common Sense Commentary: It is commonly said, "Ignorance is bliss". But that sweet, blissful moment in ignorance of the TRUTH, has cost millions of human beings the price of bondage, slavery and death. For that is where ignorance leads. Its opposite, in the words of Jesus, "...The truth shall make you free". John 8:32. So it is also true that ignorance shall make slaves.
In the 1930's, and early 40's, the European Jews did not dream that anything like the Holocaust could ever happen. The Nazis did not warn them and the average German refused to believe the whispered rumors that Jews were being exterminated. The few Jews who anticipated it, sold out and moved out of Germany. Even fewer moved far enough away and were rounded up when the Nazi occupiers over-ran France, Belgium, Poland and other surrounding nations. The newspapers and news broadcasters were not allowed to warn the Jews to leave wherever they were living in Europe. What really happened in those days, in Europe, did not show up in news reports until after the war. The truth is, that few news stories are anywhere near accurate anyway. If you don't believe that, experience a news worthy event, in person, and then read about it in the paper the next day. Usually, you won't recognize it as the same event you experienced. I have been reported on, in newspapers, many times, in the past .... never more than 50% accurately.
While German newspapers were reporting that many Jews were leaving Germany for other countries, Adolph Eichmann and his henchmen were loading "Last Trip Trains" with thousands of Jews ... to be worked to death in Nazi concentration camps or burned in the ovens of Auschwitz, Treblinka, Solibor, Belzek and hundreds of lesser known death camps. Nazi commanders were beguilingly encouraging those Jews ... "Quickly now, my friends, we must hurry" ... "The Russians are advancing on our Eastern front; we must escape them" ... "I must apologize for the hasty way we brought you under our protection" ... and a thousand other such lies ... which those poor Jews believed, or at least hoped was true. They could not comprehend their horrific, inhumane fate at the hands of the German authorities ... but it happened. Even the Allies could not comprehend 6,000,000 Jews being exterminated by German government authorities. But it happened. The truth was denied, covered up by the Nazis and German news media. That sad few years of evil, wanton atrocities was just too unbelievable, in the civilized minds of people, to believe credible. But it happened ... Visit the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem and see the walls of innumerable, horrifying pictures of it .... Our own General Eisenhower had thousands of those pictures made as a matter of historical record. It happened then and it could very well happen again ... in any country, including our own. Keep speaking out, and keep voting ... before even the hallowed ballot boxes are all corrupted as in Chicago and Detroit. It is a fact that if every Christian voted in our U.S. elections, it would be enough to preserve our constitutional freedoms. RB
