US President Barack Obama and Buchenwald survivor Elie Wiesel walk to 'Kleines Lager' (Little Camp) inside Buchenwald concentration camp, 05 Jun 2009
The Voice of America site reports:
“The president said he saw the ovens where prisoners were cremated and the bunks where they were kept in what he called the most “unimaginable conditions.” He said the sites have not lost their “horror” with the passage of time, and that grief and outrage over what happened have not diminished.
I debated whether to put a picture up of the camp. They upset me just to look at them. I believe we need to remember and feel that gut wrenching pang of the Holocaust.
So, I post the benign picture of Buchenwald
and the horrifying one (there were many worse; I could not bring myself to post them)
