I highly recommend everyone reading the Gulag Archipelago 1, 2 and 3. Yes a long read but well worth learning the history and then wondering why the hell we never learned about this Genocide in Schools.
Also, I recommend they read the books on WW2 contemporaneously written by Eisenhower, Churchill, and de Gaulle. As Q mentioned in post 1957: “Something ALARMING will be discovered.”
I read all three and I’ll be damned, none of ‘em mentioned the holocaust even once. Then go look at a map and realize all the death camps were on the soviet side of the iron curtain. The “band of brothers” image of allied troops coming across a death camp never happened. ALLLLLLLLL evidence of the death camps came from the Bolsheviks. The trustworthy Bolsheviks.
I wonder who showed the Germans how to build these productive work camps in the first place? Since they had been operating under the Bolsheviks for 20 years in Russia before the start of WW2.
