It's on all newspaper and all TV here.

There is no coverage in the US ?

Most of us learned about it in high school history class. There have also been several popular films and TV shows on the topic.

I first became aware of the 60 year anniversary when prince dork went to a party dressed as a nasty. that was 3 weeks ago?

I have heard it mentioned on radio news, seen stories televised on local news and national news yesterday and today. I haven't seen it in any newspaper. I stopped reading newspapers on a regular basis years ago so I have no idea if the liberal rags in this town covered it. Probably not. Everyone else has.

Im sure most in the arab world are celebrating the 60th anniversary and hopeful for a second run at it.

ya. its here. but were kind of in the middle of a war.

usually it gets more attention.

there have been several programs about it of course, cheney spoke about it, there were interviews. but for the most part, we dont need alot of convincing on the matter. so we watch and move on.

not to put a blunt edge on it or say that its silly. its not at all.

its just that were in the middle of a war or something.

Britain is heavily involved in that same war, but we still devoted substantial TV coverage to Auschwitz. We also have a six part TV series running about Auschwitz. I think the Queen went there to participate in the memorial services.

I would have thought that the Auschwitz debacle would have received more of a following in New York - high proportion of jews there.

Think it's amazing that the place is preserved as it was. Even just the photos look pretty chillling couldn't imagine what it would be like to visit in person.

Whats to talk about? No one did anything wrong. They were following orders the 'creazy man' gave them.

It is in the news all day here too today, beside I was there as a youth with my class.
The hair still raise on my back when I hear the name Auschwitz. We had Norwegians that survived it and I can still here their voices telling me about the horrors they lived trough.

The humans is really the worst kinda organism living on earth, when we come down to our lowest primal behaviour.

I hope youre ironic dedalos, if not youre either stupid or a sick.

Well of the big news outlets ABC should be ashamed, I found nothing at all. Fox and the BBC had it on the front page and CBS and CNN had links on their main page.

What do you think? lol

According to Germans we should all forget about what happened cause they did not really want to commit any of the crimes they commited. They were all forced by the creazy man to do them. Oh yeah, and they all feel really really bad about it. So bad, that we sould not talk about it cause it upsets them.

They should give a big thanks to Russia cause if it was not for them, the US would not have to help them rebuild so fast and maybe the rest of Europe would get a chance to deal some forgiveness to them. But as always, watermelon floats.

I'm find it strange because the germans I know have an attitude completly different than the one you describe.
