| #7 There has been a debate for some time about development near some of the remaining concentration camps. So long as anti-Semitism continues to flourish in Europe and abroad, these monuments to man's inhumanity to man must remain as they are. While replacing termite damaged wood and the like is just fine, absolutely no "sanitizing" of the death camps must ever be allowed to take place. NEVER FORGET! |

| #4 Considering the atmosphere over there these days, do we really want them doing maintenance on this place? |

#3 It appears that there is a campaign to eliminate nearly all such sites. If they can reduce the evidence, they can argue it never happened. All the actual witnesses are dying. In a generation, no one will believe because the evidence has been buried.Almost 50 years after World War II ended, veterans of the 89th and their families visited France and Germany as part of our final "Tour of Remembrance." Towards the end of the trip, we visited Ohrdruf and, to our surprise (although we had been forewarned) found nothing, absolutely nothing. All traces of it had disappeared. There is only a graveyard for POWs and a German Army Training Camp. It was like it never existed. But it did and we can testify to it personally. Most Germans today were not even born then but we pray that the German people never let future generations forget what a mad regime can do.Ohrdruf |

| #2 I'm all for the preservation work...but...who is funding it? Is it the French? The Saudi's? I'd just like to be sure that it's a "preservation" rather than a "renovation" project. Hey, the way things are going these days, somebody just might want to check. |

| #1 Steve thanks for posting this. The Auschwitz death camp must remain as a deadly reminder of what horrific evil existed in Europe not that long ago, and has alarmingly resurfaced once again in France & Germany in 2004. The very same people are being targeted by the descendants of the promoters of hate during the general World War Two era. |
