I suspect that most of the photos were “photoshopped.” It would be nice if we could trust that a photo was a true photo but I am afraid that era is past.

How interesting that the Christians ended up being the people who Einstein praised for opposing Nazism, and the universities and journalist ended being silent and silenced.

I’m going to try to reproduce some of them on our next vacations and different places we go. I used to be part-time photographer, but some of these are just chalked up to, well …timing.

For those interested in WW2, you should read Hitlers Cross by Erwin W. Lutzer, Foreword by Ravi K Zacharias, excellent work, and it leads you to other great resources.

Maybe I am out of touch with the culture right now, but what is the reason that TIME republished this article? Is there some anniversary that I am overlooking? Is there something going on in the world right now that makes that article more relevant? I usually don’t read TIME but this particular article was really good. Glad you linked to it Tim, but again, why?
