The Free Market Holocaust Museum

A virtual holocaust photo museum as a memorial to all those who suffered under atrocities committed in the name of the free market and to the valiant reporters who brought us the photos.

At the end of the Second World War many Germans were forced by the victors to tour the concentration camps of Germany, Austria and Poland to experience first hand Nazi cruelty. Denial of the holocaust gave way to acceptance, admission, a request for forgiveness and a resolution to never allow it to happen again. Until this day it is a crime in Germany to publicly deny the Holocaust or the reign of terror of the Nazis. Germany is now one of the most respected nations in the family of nations, a leading advocate of human rights and of peaceful settlement of conflict between nations.

The victors of the Second World War, however, missed out themselves on any such opportunity for an honest rendering on moral accounts. Carpet bombing Germany, fire bombing Japan and obliterating two of Japan’s cities with nuclear bombs were justified in the name of retribution. This self-proclaimed righteousness of the victors has led to far greater crimes against humanity than those inflicted during the Second World War. From Vietnam (where more than 3 million Vietnamese civilians were sacrificed in the name of the American free market) to Iraq (where the effect of sanctions and two wars with the free marketiers has led to an equal genocide), how many more will suffer at the hands of those who are infected with the superiority complex of the free market?

Since the obliterated cites of Japan and Germany have been reconstructed and the history books written, and since there is little possibility that a greater military power will force the British and Americans to tour the streets of Baghdad and Fallujah, perhaps they can still be presented face to face with the cruelty of their market supremacy ideology through a virtual photo museum. This museum will be a memorial to the victims and a permanent reminder of the atrocities committed by these nations in the name of the establishment of a superior human economic system, similar to the Wiesenthal Center in New York and Los Angeles which records the atrocities committed in the name of the attempt to establish a superior human race.

Many of the pictures in the museum coming from Iraq represent truly heroic effort on the part of the reporter, as there was sever aggression practiced against independent reporting. Reporters had to be “embedded” within American military units and all film was thoroughly reviewed and heavily censored. Reporters that roamed free on their own were often targets for Iraqi insurgents but more frequently targets for the American military. Many reporters were killed by precision guided weapons. This museum is therefore also a memorial to these reporters who were not just doing their job, but were risking their lives to show us the reality of the war; they are, in fact, saints (living or dead). If you know of any pictures from these saints and would like to see them on display on the walls of the Free Market Holocaust Museum, please send them, along with the best identification of the source and situation as possible, as an attach to the e-mail given below.
