Gloucester City residents will be happy to learn that Kohler Street has finally opened after being closed for several months to makes repairs on a broken pipe.

Also, I received a phone call from a Klemm Avenue resident about the speeding on that street. He is asking police to set up radar to stop the speeders before someone gets killed. As you know Klemm Avenue had been shut down for the past year. As part of the radioactive waste cleanup. There is an interesting story on NBC 10 News that further explains the situation.

It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:\’

Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.\’

This week, the University of Kentucky removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it \’offended\’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred.

This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.

This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and hum iliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocausr to be \’a myth,\’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!

Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

Don\’t just delete this. It will only take a minute to pass this along.
