"To this day, there are those who insist the Holocaust never
happened," Obama said. "This place is the ultimate rebuke to such
thoughts, a reminder of our duty to confront those who would tell
lies about our history."
"Buchenwald "teaches us that we must be ever-vigilant about the
spread of evil in our own time, that we must reject the false comfort
that others' suffering is not our problem, and commit ourselves to
resisting those who would subjugate others to serve their own
interests," Obama said."
"These sites have not lost their horror with the passage of time,"
Obama said ... "

You speak of 'lies about our history' ... well, dear president, I
think now you have no choice but to go even farther, and make an
official visit to the site most representative of our own American
Holocaust at Wounded Knee. Perhaps you could make arrangements to go
with Leonard Peltier. While there, you could speak to all of
America's political prisoners.
If you do ever make that trip to the place that most symbolizes our
own native peoples suffering, I feel sure that you will understand.
The horrors that proceeded our current government''s process of
civilization have never been properly documented, and the government
has yet to apologize to the decedents of such a massive
catastrophe. That we recognize publicly other holocausts, and yet
deny our own is still a bitter pill to swallow for many.
Truly you seem a compassionate man, one who values the truth. The
time has surely come to acknowledge the truth about our own original people.
