Who called you a Nazi?
Chuck I asked where your interest is in educating people on what the swastika used to be. You read about history and WWII. Great. What is your interest in educating people on what the swastika used to be??

One of my interests is reading about history, specifically World War II and the Third Reich. What Adolf Hitler and his Nazis did to the world at large during World War II, especially to the Jews and anyone not meeting the 'Aryan' standard is a horrifying example of man's inhumanity to man.Never again should we sit complacently and watch someone impose his twisted will upon any country again. 'Know thine enemy' should be the watchword everyone should remember.
If German racial laws of the time applied to me, I wouldn't qualify as an 'Aryan', I'd be considered a 'bastard'. My membership in the Masonic Fraternity would have been enough to have been taken in for 'questioning' by the Gestapo. If I were a prominent Freemason (say, a Grand Lodge officer), it would have been a one-way trip to a concentration camp.
I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Miami, where it was common to see older people wearing concentration camp ID tattoos on their forearms. I've listened to first-hand experiences of concentration camp survivors; when I hear pathetic examples of 'revisionist' history claiming the Holocaust is a fabrication, my blood boils.
