Juxtaposing European horror shows as being an American horror show, and dismissing stuff like this -


or this -





is disingenuous. The above happened in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Not Germany or Poland.

I *know* that much of the demographic who posts on DU never had anything taught to them in the schools about the black horror show that manifested in this great nation that was purportedly "discovered" by someone "in 1492 who sailed the ocean blue", where the young soon-to-be-first-President "never told a lie" and "cut down a cherry tree" and other nonsense. That was only something that happened recently after a lot protests and sit ins to get the curriculums changed. Yet much of my grade-school schooling in the early '70s comprised of plenty of WWII films and film strips about the European holocaust and its horrible aftermath. I rarely if ever saw any of MY history and its horrors and aftermath. That I had to learn on my own.

So don't lecture me on my "focus". My "focus" has been summarily dismissed by this country for several hundred years.
