WHAT DID GENERAL DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER DO TO DEAL WITH HOLOCAUST DENIERS?
Holocaust deniers are unfortunately an issue – and this is despite General Eisenhower taking measures to make sure they wouldn’t turn up.
The holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. The mass killings were done at the hands of Nazi Germany, and its collaborators.
In 1945, immediately following the War, General Dwight D. Eisenhower began to take steps to ensure these events could not be denied in the future. Unfortunately, there are still people who deny the holocaust, but it’s fair to say that these people are in the vast minority.
Upon finding the mass graves, the hundreds of thousands of dead bodies, the gas chambers, and so on; Eisenhower ordered his troops to take as many photos as possible so these events could be documented in time.
He then ordered the Germans from local villages to bury the dead, so they – and their future generations could never forget what happened; and so the holocaust could never be denied.
Eisenhower visited the graves, and did so “deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the near future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to ‘propaganda.'”
You can even be imprisoned for believing that the holocaust didn’t happen. Sixteen countries have laws against holocaust denial – more information can be found here.
