I wonder when there will be a response (or more likely, a disparaging retort) from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regarding a news story that I read today. According to the German newspaper Bild, the original blueprints revealing the ominous 1941 expansion plan for Auschwitz have been found in Berlin. The plans included a room marked 'Gaskammer' (translates to gas chamber) and, according to Bild, "also include a crematorium and a "L. Keller" — an abbreviation for "Leichenkeller" or corpse cellar." The release of the blueprints for Auschwitz prove that the Third Reich planned to systematically kill the Jewish people of Europe. It will be revealing to see what Ahmadinejad has to say in the coming days, given that he has repeatedly stated that the Holocaust never happened. "These documents reveal that everyone who had even anything remotely to do with the planning and construction of the concentration camp must have know that people were to be gassed to death in assembly-line fashion," Bild wrote.

Given that Auschwitz was the largest death camp in Germany, and more than one million Jews were killed there, the idea that anyone who claims to be intellectually honest can deny the Holocaust in this modern age is ludicrous. This newly uncovered documentation proves beyond a doubt that the Nazi's "Final Solution" was underway before the United States stepped in to prevent the genocide of the entire European Jewish population.

Gee, maybe there is a lesson for the future in there somewhere, if we remember that by studying the past, we can prevent a repetition of the same grave errors in the future.
