"Eighty years since the liberation of that Nazi death camp and it is still incomprehensible that any human being could do this to another."
. . ."Too many stood by and allowed it to happen. Eric Metaxas, in his book on Lutheran Minister Dietrich Bonhoeffer, points out that even a majority of churches in Germany did nothing to stop this systematic murder of millions of Jews.
"The radical Jew hatred on college campuses, at elite institutions and in our streets over the last year shows some have learned nothing from the past. We have seen the same despicable hatred toward a race of people that led to the systematic murder of 10 million people and a world war.
"No doubt our elite colleges and universities have become cesspools of hate and tyranny, cloaked in free speech but the cruel display of antisemitism and discrimination by race has now seeped into parts of our society.
"For this reason alone, President Donald Trump’s pursuit to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and departments from government departments is a critically important start. Perhaps we can turn back this obsession with separating people based on our differences that has been the focus for the last decades.
"Trump’s inauguration on the same day we honor Dr. Martin Luther King is significant. We can never go back to judging or discriminating against someone based on the color of their skin.
"Never again."
