IN MEMORIAL

It is now more than 60 years after 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 1900 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, cl aiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative
to make sure the world never forgets.
Recently, UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum
because it "offended" the Moslem 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.

This e-mail is intended to reach forty million people worldwide!

Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute
it around the world.

Please send this e-mail to 10 people you know and ask them to
continue the memorial chai n. Please don't just delete it. It will
only take you a minute to pass this along - Thanks!

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without
bloodshed;if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not
too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight
with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of
survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight
when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish
than to live as slaves."

Winston Churchill

This Makes my blood boil!
Just how complacent do we have to become before the sane among us take action. It just goes to show if you repeat a lie long enough people will think it's true. We must not forget the truth and those who died!! Thank you BF!

Remember: The Naive wishing for peace is the best way to encourage an aggressor.

Not to mention my mother's mom who died in France in 1944 from gangrene.
My cousin who died at Anzio
Three cousins shot by the Germans for being in the French Resistance.
An uncle who lost an eye fighting a german sentry while blowing up a bridge.
My Dad who was never the same after WW2
My dad was a French-Canadian who enlisted in the US Army
My Mom who was a poor farmer's daughter in the Ardennes during the War, was only 13 in 1939 when the German's rolled through her village.
I guess you can say there is no day that I don't think of what happened 60-65 years ago!

Great post Bruce, Needless to say but it is a shame that we have to be reminded of times such as those

. They should be as indelibly imbedded in our hearts as it is with those that survived it . catfish

I emailed this to about a dozen.

Oh, and recently the UK removed Winston Churchill from its school curriculum too.
