If it was already going on, how can this be a prediction?
Good question. Iām not sure if that is the right word. Although at the time, I donāt know that what was happening with the Holocaust was truly known to the world, so hmm. Not sure the right word.
After the Krystallnacht, it must have seemed as though something bigger was coming.
I donāt think many people really knew what was happening until at the end of the war. A lot of it was rumors and hearsay. When the liberation came is when the whole truth came out.
After visiting the Ohrdruf concentration camp on April 12, 1945, General Dwight D. Eisenhower famously stated: āThe things I saw beggar descriptionā¦ I made the visit deliberately in order to be in a position to give firsthand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to āpropagandaāā .
And Eisenhower was absolutely correct about that.
Thank God he did. Some escaped the camps and told what was going on.
Of course, I didnāt direct this at you. I was scratching my head wondering why the Jewish paper chose this word. āInadvertently confirmedā seems clumsy.
I knew you werenāt. Iām not sure the right word to use though.
