Many people are talking about the wonderful medical advances made during Nazi research. Good people, the best people. /s Sarah should take an immersive tour of Holocaust memorials, review hours/days of film of camp liberations, study the Nazi’s own records and statements, watch and listen for a few months to survivor experiences, then take part in some of their experiments/tortures for research purposes. You know, actual history. Learn something, anything. Forget it Steve, it’s Ohio. The state is perfectly okay with families raping 10 year olds and baring abortions. It’s Reich-wng monsters all the way down.
