Rachel Maddow had clips of Nazis

14. Yeah, if you mean the one in DC, it is pretty moving.

It was 1995, and I was there on business. My ex-wife and I took an afternoon and toured the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Silence. There were people there, but no one was really talking. Everyone instead made their way through the somber displays.

We stood staring down at the shoes. Piles of them. Old, dry, rotted. I thought about the people that wore them, and the way they suffered and died. Children. Women. Men.

When we went back outside, the sun seemed strangely bright in the clear blue sky, as if to somehow assuage the horror of what we had seen in the dim museum. There was a bench and we sat down.

Neither of us felt like breaking the silence, so we just sat for a time, maybe an hour. Then we left.


What is wrong with these people, these American Nazis? How can anyone be so twisted?
