President Obama today visited the former Nazi death camp Buchenwald near Weimar, Germany. From what I’ve read he was the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit since Eisenhower, who was the commander of the Allied Forces when Buchenwald was liberated. Obama’s great uncle was one of the soldiers who helped liberate Buchenwald.

I think Obama should challenge Ahmadinejad to utter his Holocaust-denial nonsense there, in front of the ovens that incinerated the bodies of those murdered by the Nazis. Over 56,000 men, women and children were murdered in Buchenwald camp by the Nazis.
