17/ Humanity recovered from the Second World War. It will not from the Third World War. It is overwhelming strength that keeps the peace. Today the frontline of freedom is in Ukraine. The peace of the world depends on the heroes of Ukraine. They will fight. We must arm them. — PolitiTweet.org

16/ The simple truth is this. By 1942, the United States didn’t have a lot of options regarding death camps in Poland and the East. The fastest way to stop the killing was the unconditional surrender of Germany, which in the end would mean it’s total destruction. — PolitiTweet.org

15/ made easier and clearer with todays knowledge. It makes it easy to judge our forefathers for catastrophes we have been spared while blinding too many to the present danger which is as clear today as any was in 1935. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

14/What created the Nazis was a world ripped open by nationalism and hate in the First World War. All of it was fueled by a lie and by the time there was consensus on the danger, the world was aflame. It is easy to embrace a lazy nostalgia where yesterdays options would have been — PolitiTweet.org

13/ seems perpetually mystifying to so many pundits in Washington, who can’t fathom the same dynamics playing out with regard to opinion on Hispanic immigration among Hispanics. The rise and fall of the Nazi’s can be marked as between 1923 and 1945. Yet, there are still Nazis. — PolitiTweet.org

12/ is now. Jastrows recognition of the horror comes after many opportunities to escape. The recognition comes when it comes. During the 1930’s almost 40 % of American Jews were against any further Jewish immigration. This aspect of human nature, which is easily understandable — PolitiTweet.org

11/ Themselves to him as accomplices in his murder and death cult. The fictional Jastrow is murdered in an Auschwitz gas chamber. The rendering of that murder on American Prime Time Television during the heyday of the Network miniseries was as astonishing in the moment as it — PolitiTweet.org

10/ is awakened as he is absorbed into the community he rejected as he draws closer to his fate. Time and again Jastrow chooses not to flee. He cannot believe that a people of such high culture and achievement as the German People could succumb to Hitlers crudity and chain — PolitiTweet.org

9/ are terrible but not insane? This anguished assessment of risk and the ability to sense danger is at the core of the fictional Aaron Jastrow, a biblical scholar, from Herman Wouks “The Winds of War”+ “War and Remembrance.” Jastrow is a converted Catholic whose Jewish identity — PolitiTweet.org

8/ Nazis savaged Czechoslovakia in 1938 he saved the lives of more than 650 Jewish children. Jewish Parents were so desperate to save their children they turned them over to a British stranger. How many other Jewish parents thought those parents were crazy? How many thought they — PolitiTweet.org

7/ Passed through Theresienstadt lived. Most were turned to ash by Nazi murderers. This is what @RepGosar will be celebrating with neo Nazi’s learn they gather on 4/20 to mark Hitlers Birthday. There is of course the story of the Angel of Prague, Sir Nicolas Winston. When the — PolitiTweet.org

6/ they saw store fronts lined with products, bread, meat, wine. They saw orchestras and theater. They saw through Nazi eyes how good the Nazis had made life for the Jews and then told the world about it. An incredibly small number of people including most of the children who — PolitiTweet.org

5/ would quiet a bit. The Olympics came to celebrate the spirit of man in Nazi Berlin in 1936. The Fuhrer was omnipresent. The Nazis, like all great propagandists were spectacular liars. Goebbels was brilliant at it. The International Red Cross were taken to Theresienstadt where — PolitiTweet.org

4/ Nazi’s were an extremist fringe for a long time. Their high water mark politically was 38% of the vote. They used street violence and intimidation and established a lawful framework to target minorities and other scapegoats. Occasionally, the hatred and rabid antisemitism — PolitiTweet.org

3/ During the 1930’s millions of people lacked the hindsight they would have in 1945 when wide swaths of European civilization were annihilated by a vicious and racist ideology that metastasized when it was paired with madness, power, hate and lies. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Wannsee Conference in January 1942 when the Allies were losing the war to the Axis Powers. This is important to understand. Evil Kills when it is advancing and occupying. It covers up the crimes when it is retreating. ( HBO MOVIE: Conspiracy- tells the story of Wannsee) — PolitiTweet.org

I think this tweet by Dr.Reiner @JReinerMD is very relevant. The Holocaust was an escalating event. It did not occur at even pacing during the 12 years of the NAZI fantasy around the 1000 year Reich. The industrial scale killing and the logistics to support it followed the — PolitiTweet.org

8/ nation as Ukraine 🇺🇦. Lastly, there is an aspect of American character that makes a visit by an American President necessary. That would be defiance. Zelensky is a President who said “ I don’t need a ride, I need Ammo” The only proper response from POTUS is “ I’m going to go — PolitiTweet.org
