[WorthyNewsBot]

President Barack Obama witnessed the Nazi ovens of the Buchenwald concentration camp Friday, its clock tower frozen at the time of liberation, and said the leaders of today must not rest against the spread of evil.

But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

Matthew 8:27

Evil Hearts

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jeremiah 17:9

Meet The God Of Wonder

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

John 11:25

And Make Their Choice For All Eternity

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 3:35-36

Be Wise

This is one of his best speeches to date....but it won't be played up in the muslim world. It also has to be hard for the German people to remember what their grandparents did. When I was there...the young didn't like to think about it and the old were absolutely silent on the matter.

Most people who were adults or young adults during WW2 in Germany would have had to have known about the concentration camps and the sub camps - there were literally thousands of them. The West is only aware of the "major" ones..

Of course they didn't; in fact, most of them didn't. It appeared to me to be a national thing they didn't like to remember. Much as we hate remembering that slavery once existed here. We didn't have anything to do with that either but we're not proud of it, for sure. You would have to go there, live among the German people (whom are wonderful people, btw!) to understand their feelings about Hitler and that time in their history. It is even a crime in Germany to deny the Holocaust and I believe that Germans, largely, feel guilt because of Hitler's abominable actions.

My wife was born in Germany, as were her brother and sister who was taken from the home by Nazi's and basically held hostage for a year, allot of the other children in the village were they lived were also taken hostage. Her father was a farmer, and although didn't serve was taken for forced labor in a beet factory, once released he was of course forced to work his farm for the army, they were starving, any villager caught outside after curfew was shot.

I also know 2 other men, one had to serve and was wounded and taken prisoner, the other was too young, but told of village life under the nazi's.

Most of the people had no idea what was going on, just like we don't know spit about what our government does. Fact is, the nazi's treated the regular German people very badly, and is no wonder they don't want to talk about it.

Well then, that explains why they don't talk about it.
