12:30 pm It is so hard not to hate. Not to blame. Cry out and accuse every German. For I have been misled. I was told we were wrong to blame the Germans. They knew nothing. About the concentration camps, Hitler's hatred, his real objectives - nothing.

Now I know this is NOT true. Buchenwald is set on a high hill overlooking a beautiful valley. No wonder Goethe would come here to think. But, a few miles out of Weimar, the countrie's cultural city, lies a small world of darkness and hatred. "Butcher World" is surrounded by a "wald", a forest. It is so very beautiful. And to think Nazi eyes have looked upon it.

Forgiveness. It has never been too hard. It is easy for me to overlook other's shortcomings in others when I very rarely take mine seriously.
But before coming here, short-comings never included Satan.
Man can never alone be completely holy, nor ca he alone be completely evil.
Has this been said before? Does it cross everyone's mind when they witness such evil? Is it only those of us that believe in God and Satan?
Evolutionists claim that we are "evolved" apes. Do apes have this kind of evil, hatred - do apes even have... well, grunts to express such ideas?
How can man, any man look at nature and not see God; or look at Buchenwald and not see Satan?
Why?
Oh, I know how Hitler came into power (over 50% of Weimar voted for him in 1933). I know of his anti-Semitic platform; I have read Machiavelli's The Prince. I guess I know why.  I know how. I know when. But when and how did the WHY come about?

Hatred.

We hate those who hated. If this is true, and does not change, then we ourselves will be hated. How much hate is there? How many demons in the bowels of the earth?

Lord, please protect me. I must have compassion instead of hatred. Love where there is contempt. Help where there is apathy. Lod Jesus, PLEASE help me.
To be a witness to such a place of misery. Of terror. Of fear. Such a bright day for a visit to a place I expected to be black and white. Too much Schindler's List, I suppose.
This was a ceremony place. A place for the gatherings of S- followers. This place is not holy. Nor is it unholy, for S- presence is gone. Left is a swatch of land, so wide & so long - that has the effects of the ceremony. But it has affected more than the land here. More than the trees, the rock, and the plain.

The people hurt.

To live knowing a grandparent had been a part of such inhumanistic of such sickening hurt...
Mr. Dill has said, "I've heard the German youth swear to never learn their national anthem, to want to leave the country." Since the reunification of the country, this has lessened. But until five years ago, these people lived under the tyranny of revengeful communists. Eight thousand Russian soldiers were killed here.
They (Russians) wont let the German people forget it. Apparently the Communists taught that almost only communists died here. 
One can forget that history is written by the winners.

In Germany, it is illegal - one can be arrested and put in jail for saying this world never existed. After the Americans freed the camp, they coerced half of the city of Wiemar (half of them women) here to Buchenwald to witness what happened here. How could they not know? The furnaces which had to have dumped soot into the air. The exposed site on the side of a hill? Binoculars were around - why was I told they didn't know?

THEY DID! They must have!  Such a beautiful city run by apathists. Why?

I must forgive, for if I don't, I can't forgivemyself. Even if they were holding the gun - forgive. What was the name of the guy who measured people? The man who chose death-duty? I must forgive. I must not hate lest I become the object of such hate. We must forgive. We must not hate.

This is a memorial to a ceremony - not a place to mourn and hate but a place to warn - DON'T  hate - DON'T be full of suffering.
