Who
was Pastor Martin Niemöller?
First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me - and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.

Homosexual victims of the Holocaust
"The story of the Final Solution, and the subsequent genocide
of millions of Jews, Eastern Europeans, and political opponents under the Nazi
regime is
a
fixture in history books. Starting January 30, 1933, when German soldier Adolf
Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and the Nazi party began consolidating
its power, to the time when Germany was finally liberated on May 8, 1945, approximately
11 million people were exterminated by systematic imprisonment, torturous labor
details, and concentration camp gas chambers.
But facts and figures alone can't express the broad
scope of devastation wrought by the ideals of Aryan perfection that the Nazi's
enshrined in their public
policy, notes Edward Phillips, deputy director for exhibitions at the United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Though Jews were by far the largest target of the political
party's hatred, Nazis also worked to eliminate vocal opponents and other 'anti-social'
elements, including racial minorities, people with disabilities, intellectuals,
Jehovah's
Witnesses and beggars."
The first video archives of Holocaust testimonies
"This web page tells the story of the first efforts some twenty years
ago to videotape Holocaust survivors recollecting their experiences. On
their own initiative and without any outside support, Laurel Vlock and Dr.
Dori Laub
taped the testimonies of four survivors. From this inconspicuous beginning,
which revolutionized the act of witnessing by providing "demeanor evidence," arose
such projects as the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale
University and the Shoah Visual History Foundation."

The
Evian Conference - Hitler's Green Light for Genocide
"
I wrote about the Evian Conference because I felt people should know the part
the allies played in appeasing Hitler and giving him the green light to believe
he could do whatever he wanted to the Jewish people as nobody wanted them and
this resulted in genocide. By their refusal to take Jewish refugees the countries
who attended the Evian Conference condemned them to torture, inhumane treatment
and a horrible death. Let us hope and pray we never make the same mistake again." by
