Dear Neighbor, 

Billions chose to ignore the evidence and believe the publicized denials that it was happening. Others agreed with his propaganda that everyone who didn’t follow his ideologies should be exterminated. Many who saw the evil were afraid if they spoke out, they would also be killed.

First Communists were targeted, and Social Democrats and Trade Unionists. Jehovah’s Witnesses because they refused to take an oath of obedience to him. Gay males. Freemasons. Disabled. Gypsies, Blacks, Polish, Slovenes, Serbs, Russians, Ukrainians, Spanish Republicans, and especially Jews because he considered all of these groups as racially inferior to his own or as threats to his power.

Their property/land was taken. They were forced into slave labor, sex slavery, medical experimentation, concentration camps, the gas chamber . . . 6 million Jews alone, and an estimated additional 11 million from these other groups, tortured and exterminated between 1941-1945 under the commands of one evil and power-hungry man.

Where were the common people? Many were brainwashed by their churches, news sources, entertainment media, and families, all of which had been taken over by the corrupt party.
