1/ Many people - myself included - have accurately pointed to the disturbing similarities between the Nazi treatment of the Jews and the Chinese government's treatment of the #Uighurs.

I wrote about it here: washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/…
2/ Amid those comparisons, I have seen several people say something along the lines of: "The United States didn't really know what the Nazis were doing to the Jews during the Holocaust."

That's a myth. Here's why.

THREAD:
3/ From the beginning, Hitler and his cohorts certainly didn't keep their Antisemitic beliefs secret.

See: Mein Kampf

The United Press wire services labeled Hitler a "foe of Jews and communists" after his appointment in 1933.

THREAD: Today is the 81st anniversary of #Kristallnacht. Many Americans assume that such events, as well as the broader scope of the Holocaust, was unknown in the United States.

Not so. Here's a sampling of how Kristallnacht was reported in newspapers in #Missouri alone.
#Kristallnacht in the St. Louis Star-Times.
#Kristallnacht in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

In honor of #HMD2019, here's a (hopefully) brief thread on Carl Lutz.

For more information, start with the websites for the US Holocaust Museum and Yad Vashem.
Carl Lutz was born in 1895 in Switzerland. At the age of 18, and without knowing a word of English, he emigrated to the United States.

Soon, he enrolled at Central Wesleyan College in Warrenton, Missouri, hoping to go into ministry or missionary work. (Photo via USHMM)
In 1920, Lutz found a job with the Swiss Legation in DC and transferred to GW, where he finished his studies. From 1924-1935, Lutz worked several diplomatic posts in the US, one of which was in St. Louis. I took this photo about a year ago of the block where he used to work.
