POPSFoundation Acquires Letters Sent From Prisoners of Nazi..Camps We all know that innumerable 'holocausts' occurred over the centuries. Even now, they are occurring; but these personal words from those who experienced such racial hatred will be memorials and perhaps fortify those who want to take the initiative to prevent such things from happening again. All the while...knowing that all we do is a drop in the bucket because *hate* and dictatorship are *normal* for this world. But these are a great reminder and I look forward to reading them in more detail.

POPSSpanish-American War
The U.S. government was also moved by the heavy losses of American investment in Cuba caused by the guerrilla warfare, an appreciation of the strategic importance of the island to Central America and a projected isthmian canal there, and a growing sense of U.S. power in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. There was an unspoken threat of intervention. This grew sharper after the insurgents, refusing a Spanish offer of partial autonomy, determined to fight for full freedom. The warfare that commenced was short and very one-sided. Peace was arranged by the Treaty of Paris signed Dec. 10, 1898 (ratified by the U.S. Senate, Feb. 6, 1899). The Spanish Empire was practically dissolved. Cuba was freed, but under U.S. tutelage by terms of the Platt Amendment (see under Platt, Orville), with Spain assuming the Cuban debt. Puerto Rico and Guam were ceded to the United States as indemnity, and the Philippines were surrendered to the United States for a payment of $20 million.

POPSCorrie Ten Boom While in Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, the barracks were infested with lice. Corrie and her sister praised God for the lice, because the guards refused to enter their barracks for fear of getting infected. Can you imagine? That is truly seeing the silver lining.

POPS Scholars Make Finds In Search Of Nazi Archive The 50 million pages stored in this central German spa town since the mid-1950s previously had been used by Red Cross staff to respond to inquiries about missing persons or the fate of family members, and later to document compensation claims. The gray metal shelves and cabinets contain 16 miles (25 kilometers) of transport lists, camp registries, medical records, forced labor files and death certificates of some 17.5 million people subjected to Nazi persecutions. Taken together with written and oral testimonies and the transcripts of war crimes trials, the dry data at Bad Arolsen add texture to the known picture of the Holocaust, from the first concentration camps created within weeks of Hitler's rise to power in January 1933 to the defeat of Nazism in May 1945. "It was much more than I expected," said Trouve. investigative researcher Randy Herschaft contributed to this article from Bad Arolsen

POPSPolish WW2 War Criminal Escapes to Israel He was a member of the State Security and the commandant of the Stalinist-era concentration camp Zgoda in Świętochłowice, Poland. Of 6,000 inmates that he was responsible for, that 1,695 people died under him "by deliberately giving low food rations, systematically torturing and mistreating prisoners, and failing to take sanitary precautions." Zgoda camp was set up by the Soviet NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB , after the Red Army entered southern Poland. The camp was later handed over to the Communist Polish secret service, the notorious Urząd Bezpieczeństwa. In March 1945, Morel became a chief of the labour camp.

POPSThe Soul of Israel Concentration camp, squalor, ghetto, mass-murder, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, pure meaness and cruelty are the hallmarks of this society. No amount of stealing is ever enough. No amount of cruelty overwhelms their conscience. It is a society of blood-sucking vampires.

POPSIsrael’s Ambassador to the UK and his deception Can anyone see just how sick these people are? I can only imagine some muthafucka with swastikas on his sleeve telling me that I'm anti-german or anti-nazi just because I tell him his ideology is evil. Well no shit Sherlock. I don't take kindly to anyone who is racist and who treats others like the scum of the earth purely because of the parents to whom they were born. That is Israel's perennial crime. Then this society of mass-murderers, swindlers & thieves want to turn around and pretend that it couldn't possibly be their deeds that people find detestible. It must be because normall good people just wake up one morning and decide to hate. I wish the Jews with conscience would stand the fuck up because what those filthy bastards who run the Israel show and their fanatical supporters are doing in the name of all Jews is THE BIGGEST crime ever perpetrated against Jews.

POPSObama wants to talk to this man Obama says his uncle freed a concentration camp. Yet, from this personal experience, that one would seem would make a tremendous impact in one's mind against evil, he uses as an opportunity to support a social program. You would think he would learn to take the word of man that wants to eradicate every Jew. Good boy, Obama.

POPSConcentration Camps: Nazi=BAD; US/Israel: GOOD It is bad enough if these filthy creatures from the White House put their own citizens in torture concentration camps, but here they kidnap people by the tens of thousands and herd them in torture and death camps and not a single western leader sees anything wrong.

POPSRIP Irena Sendler - Lost Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore "Mrs. Sendler used her contacts at orphanages and convents to keep Jewish children safe until the war's end, often under Christianized names. To alert nuns to a new group of children ready for pick up, she could write, "I have clothing for the convent." The intention was to return all the children to their parents, although the death rate of the adult population made the task largely impossible. But for years Mrs. Sendler guarded the real names of the children and their parents, writing them on tissue paper and burying the lists in jars under an apple tree at an associate's home. "

POPSAnne Frank Postcard Found Such a sad story of this poor girl, but it is amazing how her history has lived on. I hope her life story will remind people of the horrors of fascism and our need to be ever vigilant of tyrants in any land, even from Texas.

POPSOnly English prisoner at Auschwitz dies, 97 In his book, An Englishman in Auschwitz, Mr Greenman described their arrival in Birkenau. "The women were separated from the men: Else and Barny were marched about 20 yards away to a queue of women...I tried to watch Else. I could see her clearly against the blue lights. She could see me too for she threw me a kiss and held up our child for me to see. What was going through her mind I will never know. Perhaps she was pleased that the journey had come to an end." Mr Greenman later said that the hope of being reunited with Else and Barney kept him going in the gruelling days ahead. After learning his wife and son had been gassed, Mr Greenman dedicated his life to educating people about the holocaust and fighting racism. He never remarried, grieving for his lost family all his life, and spent his last years living at his home in Ilford, east London.
