Klaus,

Thank you for your post. So much of this history risks being lost. We must never forget what happened.

I am absolute agree with you. Even in Germany they do a lot never forget. I will never forget either because the family of my grandmother were socialist in the German SPD 1927 to 1941. They were killed in Neuengamme. The Neuengamme concentration camp, a Nazi concentration camp, was established in 1938 by the SS near the village of Neuengamme in Bergedorf district within the City of Hamburg, Germany. It was in operation from 1938 to 1945. By the end of the war, more than half of its estimated 106,000 prisoners had died. After being used for two prisons by the Hamburg authorities from 1948 to 2004, the site now serves as a memorial. It is situated 15 km southeast of the center of Hamburg in the Vierlande area.
After WWII the Allied command brought all the commanders of the camp to justice. Death by hanging.

Unfortunately this is part of the history too:

1934 May 2, LOUIS T. MCFADDEN

A congressman from Pennsylvania who attacked the Jews in Congress. This was the first act of political antisemitism in the United States.

1934 May 17, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN (New York City, USA)

Thousands attended a pro-Nazi rally sponsored by the German-American Union and its leader Fritz Kuhn. The Union, active from 1934-1941, claimed to be "100% American." Their proclaimed goal was to be for the "constitution, flag and a white gentile ruled, truly free America."

1934 September 5, WILLIAM DUDLEY PELLEY (USA)

Leader of the Silver Legion, the most prominent of the Ku Klux Klan movements, issued his "New Emancipation Proclamation", promising to impose racial quotas "on the political and economical structure".

Conclusion:
To many people world wide were infected with the NAZIS-VIRUS. But it is not polite to remember this part of the history.
