The annual Holocaust Remembrance Day takes on added importance this year when Thursday, April 8, is set aside to recall and renounce genocide.
Some folks at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol did not get the “Never Again” memo. One guy sported a “Camp Auschwitz” T-shirt inside the building (he was arrested a week later in Virginia), while a woman gave a “Sieg Heil” salute outside.
These scenes are shocking. They place anti-Semitism and Aryan supremacy squarely in the present, not just the past. They also connect streams of prejudice, as also-present Confederate flags made abundantly clear that day.
