Glenn Beck said Thursday that he will be visiting the former Nazi death camp Auschwitz in a visit to Poland, and he’ll broadcast a special from a town outside of the camp because this will help him “figure out,” he says, “how did this happen?”

Will someone please tell the stupid son of a bitch to just read some books, how about the “Winds of War” and ‘War and Remembrance.” Yeah they are kinda like a soap opera and quite wordy, it isn’t exactly riveting reading. But as to their portrayal of the holocaust? There the books hit home because it is all so mundane and routine as the poor Germans struggle with mistakes and technical problems in their attempted genocide. Contamination of the ground water from mass burials, shortages of fuel preventing using engine exhaust to asphyxiate enough people, the problems of designing large scale crematoria.

Herman Wouk related the holocaust as if he was discussing a routine engineering problem, and made it all the more horrifying by doing so (intentionally). Because that was the mindset of the people who actually perpetuated these crimes against humanity.

Glenn Beck? I can already hear the vapid and self-serving rhetoric he will spew. Get a clue Mr. Beck those people did not die so that you would be able to promote yourself on their graves. You make me ashamed to share a species with you.
