On International Holocaust Remembrance Day—marked by the liberation of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, a brief history of how it became the symbol of pure evil
Thank you for covering this. I would love to see you write something on contemporary antisemitism from a skeptic viewpoint and how its a conspiracy theory. We see this manifested so clearly with the likes of Prof David Miller of Bristol U, for example, accusing the Jewish student group of being part of a worldwide Zionist conspiracy. Its so evident but even skeptics addressing conspiracies don't address it.
Touring Dachau as a young teenager in the mid-70's forever imprinted on my mind the capacity for evil that cannot be denied or erased if human dignity is to be protected against all forms of ideological or religious fanaticism. Socialism and it's adherents spread this form of fanaticism better than most because the utopian visions require mass extermination of it's enemies.

Michael, thank you for this article and audio reading. One of your best. The descriptions of the process are horrifying.
