Many of the nazi elite were hidden after the war. Many of the monied elite who supported the nazis were not reprimanded, including bush.
They have been using their same old "tried and true" tactics in slow-motion, so less people will notice.
People would be in rageful horror if we knew the truth of their despicable actions.
Thanks for posting! We need to be reminded of this every day.
