Correspondent Scott Pelley and three Holocaust survivors recently traveled to Germany to view extensive files on that evil scar on humanity.
From CBS' web site:
Seized when Germany fell to the Allies in 1945, the documents were deposited in an archive in the German city of Bad Arolsen and have been tightly controlled for privacy reasons ever since. Sitting on 16 miles of shelving, they number 50 million pages covering 17.5 million victims, not only Jews but also millions of slave laborers, political prisoners, homosexuals and Roma. They reveal the horrible: For 90 minutes on Hitler's birthday, a prisoner was shot every two minutes as a gift to the Fuerhrer. They tell the mundane: Lice on prisoners were counted and classified as small, medium and large.
Here's a comment from one of the Holocaust survivors who made the trip:
Those people who said the Holocaust didn't happen, like the president of Iran, if they have any questions about it, please come to Bad Arolsen and check it out for themselves.
Thanks to Richard Baehr of the American Thinker for the heads-up on this story.
