That’s why I thought I’d mention the even more distressing possibility of visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp sites in southern Poland. Auschwitz is perhaps the most well-known concentration camp - ... Read Full Story

Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust, took issue with the Teabagger movement's disgusting comparisons of health care reform to Nazi death camps. The 'Baggers responded with typical class: "The jews need to clam up and accept the fact that they are in a Christian country." "This hollowcost thing is totally overblown by the jewish."
