Happy VE Day.....

[Billy_Bob]

Sadly 88% of college graduates today have no idea what this means... 62% of college graduates do not know what Auschwitz is or who died there... 42% of college graduates don't know what the Holocaust was...

And theses numbers get worse in today's high schools according to a recent study of 5 major colleges...

VE Day, or Victory in Europe Day, was first celebrated on 8 May 1945 to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe.

How did the Second World War in Europe end?

In April 1945, Allied forces had surrounded Berlin, Germany’s capital city. British and American forces had advanced towards Berlin’s westerly Elbe River, while the Soviet Union’s Red Army arrived from the east and quickly sealed off the city from the rest of the country.

The Battle of Berlin ensued, raging for nine days between the Red Army and desperate German defenders. On 3 May, German commanders in Berlin surrendered. Their city, once the political and cultural heart of the German Empire, was in ruins. Their leader, Adolf Hitler, was dead and the country now lay at the mercy of ‘The Big Three’: Britain, America and the Soviet Union.

Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.

Good.

Why glorify war when it should be regularly and strongly condemned?
