When the Auschwitz Memorial speaks to your actions...

@AuschwitzMuseum Can't help but be baffled by USA atm.
They revere those who gave their lives & went to war in #WW2 but then dishonour them greatly by becoming like those who they fought against.
Is this #MAGA? Is this what #Trump meant to happen?

If this had been a regular graduation pic it would have been published statewide for all to see. Why protect these neo-nazis Identification??

Just a game.

Until those in authority find such NAZI displays reprehensible, and work to ensure those under them also find them reprehensible, the demon that is Hitler will live.
