Gen. Eisenhower Guaranteed The World Would NEVER FORGET – The Lid

The UN designated International Holocaust Remembrance Day to occur every January 27. Most people don’t know that there might not be an International Holocaust Remembrance Day if it wasn’t for the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, General Dwight D.Eisenhower.

.Eisenhower insisted that the world must see the barbarism committed by the Nazis and they should never be forgotten. Much of the video and picture proof of the Holocaust would not be available today were taken by U.S. military photographers ordered to do so by Eisenhower. The General knew that visual evidence was needed to make sure people in the future couldn’t deny or forget the atrocities committed by the Nazis.
