A U.S. solider surveys a German concentration camp
It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some b*stard will get up and say that this never happened'
'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing'
Edmund Burke
Recently, it was reported that the UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. This was later found to be an overblown report by media based on one instance where only one history department in a northern UK school had dropped Holocaust lessons. Read the Snopes article describing this event here:

Even though limited to one school, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world regarding "offending Muslims" and how easily each country could be prone to give in to it.
These photos were taken in Germany by James Emison Chanslor, an Army Master Sergeant who served in World War II from 1942 until 1945.
