#OTD in #history, 1919, Pres. Wilson signed legislation establishing #GrandCanyon National Park. As the 1st NPS director explained: A visit to such lands “inspires love of country; begets contentment; engenders pride of possession; contains the antidote for national restlessness”

#OTD in 1945, Auschwitz was liberated: #HolocaustMemorialDay. Never before had the world seen such hatred, sadism, and technology combine for the purpose of industrial genocide; why #history recognizes the murder of 6 million Jewish people as the greatest crime ever committed.
