IN MEMORIAM
This week the University of Kentucky removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Muslim population, which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years since the Second World War in Europe ended.
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way!
Now more than ever, with Iran among others claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!
Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.
Please don't just delete it.
It will only take you a minute to pass this along.

"It’s important that the message gets out."
What message is that?
That dubious rightwingers will make use of the holocost - which they deviously *pretend* to be super concerned about - to push forward their usual nasty racist agenda against Muslims.
How are the Muslims - in this case - any different from the Jews in WWII Germany? Rightwingers are LYING about Muslims in an effort to bald-faced turn US citizens against them... much as Hitler did with the Jews in Germany.
Seriously: what's the difference? Can anyone see if there is one?
I would say: for shame! But as we've seen endlessly, most conservatives - esp the rightwing think tanks that pump out these nasty racist lies - wouldn't know shame if it hit them upside the head with a 2X4.
Protip: the "20 million Russians" should actually read "20 million communists."
