Thanks for reminding us of "th...Brother Leon,<br /><br />Thanks for reminding us of "the day which will live in infamy." Many lives were lost during the 3 3/4 years of global carnage which included The Final Solution phase of the Holocaust. During this period, Adolph Hitler expressed his frustration over the pace of deportation of Jews in Germany.<br /><br />Reinhard Heydrich therefore convened the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942 in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee to finalize a plan for the extermination of the Jews.[119] The plan became known as Aktion Reinhard (Operation Reinhard) after Reinhard Heydrich, who chaired the conference. Also present were Eichmann, Heinrich Müller, head of the Gestapo, and representatives of the branches of government which would be involved.[117]<br /><br />A plan was presented for killing all the Jews in Europe, including 330,000 Jews in England and 4,000 in Ireland,[119] although the minutes taken by Eichmann refer to this only through euphemisms, such as " ... emigration has now been replaced by evacuation to the East. This operation should be regarded only as a provisional option, though in view of the coming final solution of the Jewish question it is already supplying practical experience of vital importance."[119]<br /><br />The officials were told there were 2.3 million Jews in the General Government, 850,000 in Hungary, 1.1 million in the other occupied countries, and up to 5 million in the USSR, although 2 million of these were in areas still under Soviet control — a total of about 6.5 million. These would all be transported by train to extermination camps (Vernichtungslager) in Poland, where almost all of them would be gassed at once. In some camps, such as Auschwitz, those fit for work would be kept alive for a while, but eventually all would be killed. <br /><br />A tragic part of world history which began well before the US decided to enter World War II. Unfortunate, Herbert Hoover, FDR and our leaders in Congress chose to sit our the early phases of the Holocaust which began in the early 1930's and escalated with the rise of the Third Reich culminating in the invasion of Poland.<br /><br />The fate of the Jewish people are inalterably linked to the history of America and our collective story of redemption, restoration, hope and change.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust<br /><br />Please continue your great work.<br /><br /><br /><br />Larry AlstonSoulgoalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040792683784366469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516202214514810687.post-22016968116244601262011-09-14T10:01:27.095-04:002011-09-14T10:01:27.095-04:00Randolph:
