D-Day to V-E Day World War II continued for almost 11 months after the successful Normandy landings in France on June 6, 1944, commonly known as D-Day. Here are some of the key moments that led to Victory in Europe Day on May 8, 1945.
Czech Republic Consul General Pavel Sepelak spoke at a Holocaust Remembrance event last May at the Museum of Tolerance.

A remarkable documentary resource exploring the phenomenon of WWII concentration camps, particularly Auschwitz, should be viewed on DaMoosebelly's Channel on YouTube
This BBC-aired video is the sixth and final volume of "Auschwitz- The Nazis and the Final Solution" in a series that examines the Auschwitz death camp from conception to implementation of the "final solution" which resulted in the execution of over 1,100,000 people. This portion gives an overview of the further atrocities suffered at the hands of Soviet "liberators" as well as some people who took justice into their own hands. Also touched on is the appalling failure of the Allies to prosecute some of the worst war criminals...and even help some of them evade prosecution
Atlas Shrugs has an interesting article about the recently discovered Auschwitz blueprints (allegedly hidden by Amin al-Husseini- Hitler's Mufti) and the Mufti's importing Nazi ideology and techniques for demonizing and annihilating of Jews (as a power-technique) into the Muslim world.
Popular consciousness (or denial) of society's unwillingness to recognize Jew-hatred as a portending of general evil this 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht in Austria and Germany is marked with 2 new pair of related stories.
Israeli journalist discovers ransacked Kristallnacht Judaica near Berlin
Israeli journalist, Yaron Svoray, says he has found what could be a dump site used for the debris from Kristallnacht, the night 70 years ago in 1938 that the Nazis unleashed a wave of destruction & murder on Jews throughout Austria and Germany.
Failure to heed the warnings Kristallnacht portended, resulted in the deaths of 50 million Europeans in World War II. Proof was highlighted this weekend in Germany's Bild newspaper:
"Original plans for the construction of the Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz, including a gas chamber and crematorium, have been found in a Berlin apartment, a newspaper reported Saturday.
The daily Bild published copies of some of the 28 plans, which the head of Germany’s federal archives, Hans-Dieter Krekamp, called “authentic proof of the systematically planned genocide of the Jews of Europe.”
There are dates on the plans: It said they were dated between 1941 and 1943 and stamped, “Waffen-SS and Police Construction Directorate.” Some were signed by senior SS officials and one initialed by the head of the Nazi ideological corps, Heinrich Himmler.
Kreikamp told the newspaper the documents were “extraordinarily important.”
One plan, drawn by a detainee as early as November 1941, when experiments in eliminating prisoners were already under way, had a gas chamber clearly labeled, Bild said.
Another showed a crematorium with places for ovens marked, and storage space for bodies."
SS chief Heinrich Himmler, who oversaw the Nazi extermination program, appears to have marked his initials on one of the pages, in green ink.
These documents invalidate revisionist historians and Holocaust-minimizers, according to web-publisher Meryl Yourish:
This evidence contradicts directly MSNBC commentator Pat Buchanan’s claims that it was the intervention of Britain that caused the Germans to start murdering the Jews.
That Hitler was a rabid anti-Semite is undeniable. “Mein Kampf” is saturated in anti-Semitism. The Nuremberg Laws confirm it. But for the six years before Britain declared war, there was no Holocaust, and for two years after the war began, there was no Holocaust.
Not until midwinter 1942 was the Wannsee Conference held, where the Final Solution was on the table.
That conference was not convened until Hitler had been halted in Russia, was at war with America and sensed doom was inevitable. Then the trains began to roll.
And why did Hitler invade Russia? This writer quotes Hitler 10 times as saying that only by knocking out Russia could he convince Britain it could not win and must end the war.
In our 2006 article, "Never Again or Ever Again?" in 2006, we illustrated the world's malfeasance to recognize the appearance of violent Jihad shooting for global domination in the intentional downplaying the 1990 assasination of Rabbi Meir Kahane as merely an act of anti-Semitism. DemoCast wrote:
Had the government pursued the inciters behind El Nosair, in addition to averting the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, they could also have deported Imam Gulshair Shukrijumah (averting the September 11 2001 World Trade Center destruction in NYC). This would have averted his son, Adnan's, ability to implement al-Qaeda's "American Hiroshima," which today threatens the entire world.
Today's example of ignoring the warning signs- the media's disparaged Israeli strike on Syria's nuclear weapons facility (ostensibly aimed at the Jewish nation) Israel National News' Maayana Miskin reports that
investigators for the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have found traces of uranium contaminationat the site of an Israeli air strike in Syria, diplomats told Reuters and German media sources on Monday. The report is the first sign of a “smoking gun” proving that Syria was in fact building a secret nuclear reactor on the site, as Israel and the United States have insisted.
And the result of ignoring the action towards the Jews is revealed in the global Jihad and its facilitators in the Obama administration:
Several sources report that President-elect Barack Obama lied about divesting his team of Robert Malley as his Middle-East foreign policy advisor, and has in fact sent him to Syria to tip-them-off to the incoming, contradictory, U.S. Middle-East agenda- more pro-Arab, and less-supportive of Israel.Egypt's Daily Star Newspaper reports:
It emerged that Obama had sent his senior foreign policy advisor Robert Malley to both Cairo and Damascus these past few weeks to outline the president-elect’s plans for the region, which indicates a willingness to further strengthen ties with staunch US ally Egypt and begin boosting relations with Syria.
"The tenor of the messages was that the Obama administration would take into greater account Egyptian and Syrian interests," an aide to Malley was quoted as saying. The aide said Obama plans to launch a U.S. diplomatic initiative toward Syria. Malley met both Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad "to explain Obama's agenda for the Middle East."
Syrian President Bashar Assad accused Israel on Sunday of not being genuine in its professed desire for peace with its Arab neighbors and criticized a proposed US-Iraqi security agreement that would keep American troops in Iraq for three more years. In a speech to Arab parliamentarians in Damascus, Assad said Israel must prove it desires peace by offering to withdraw from all territories captured during the Six Day War.
"Until this moment, we still see that the peace slogan is used as part of an internal political game in Israel and as a major factor in external political maneuvers," the Syrian president said.
History has shown that examples of enmity towards the Jewish people (or the Jewish state) have served as reliable indicators of tyrannical threats to the world - if you heed them in time.
"Either you're with us (free society) or you are with the terrorists," said President George W. Bush in an address to a joint session of Congress on September 20, 2001.
While en route to solicit backing from 5 antisemitic Muslim Arab countries, Secy of State Condi Rice told reporters that she had to explain to Pres. Bush why FDR's Washington didn't believe averting the annihilation of Jewry to be in America's best interest.
The inconvenient historical connection she probably withheld from him is that the Muslim Arab world which the Bush administration solicits today are the Nazis' ideological disciples and successors of attaining political power by vilifying and annihilating Jewish people.
German historian and author, Matthias Kuntzel, relates how Jew-annihilation was personally inculcated into Muslim Arab leaders by their Nazi partners during World War II.
In reviewing Kuntzel's book, Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11, Jeffrey Golberg writes in the Canada Free Press
"The German scholar Matthias Küntzel {...} takes anti-Semitism, and in particular its most potent current strain, Muslim anti-Semitism, very seriously indeed. His bracing, even startling, book, “Jihad and Jew-Hatred” (translated by Colin Meade), reminds us that it is perilous to ignore idiotic ideas if these idiotic ideas are broadly, and fervently, believed. And across the Muslim world, the very worst ideas about Jews - intricate, outlandish conspiracy theories about their malevolent and absolute power over world affairs - have become scandalously ubiquitous. Hezbollah and Hamas, to name two prominent examples, understand the world largely through the prism of Jewish power. Hezbollah officials employ language that shamelessly echoes Nazi propaganda, describing Jews as parasites and tumors and prescribing the murder of Jews as a kind of chemotherapy."
This news report from Bayerischer Rundfunk explains in detail the cooperation between the Nazis and the Muslim Arab leaders during WWII. It goes on to explain how high ranking heads of the SS fled to the Arab world and carried on their activities under the protection of leaders such as President Nasser and how modern Islam has adopted a Nazi style ideology of hate and conspiracy against the Jews.

In his documentary film Martial Law, Bush administration critic Alex Jones interviews John Buchanan, who was instrumental in uncovering the documents tying grandfather Prescott Bush to the financing of the Third Reich.
Will G.W. Bush be true to his cause and torpedo the Nazi-successors from their quest to global domination through Jew-annihilating - or will he benefit war-profiteers (like his grand-daddy) by selling those Wahabis a $20 Billion smart weapons package to finish Hitler's goal?
