According to the US Holocaust Museum, Senator Obama's uncle's Infantry Division not only liberated Buchenwald -- it was one of the first Nazi concentration camps liberated by US troops in all of Germany.
An AmericaBlog letter to the editor:
"Anne Frank died at Bergen-Belsen, and 7 of my family members died at Dachau. I personally don't give a damn that Obama confused Buchenwald and Auschwitz, I'm personally glad that Obama's uncle, and his American/European/and yes, Soviet allies got there and put an end to it before the Nazis (and their "appeasers") were able to kill, by cyanide or bullet to the head, one more innocent person.
"Turning this into a political football is reprehensible, and as the daughter and granddaughter of Jews who currently reside in Florida, I can tell you that this jockeying is sickening to watch. And from the limited sample I have, it isn't doing the RNC any favors (I don't know if its hurting them, but it sure as hell isn't helping)."

The LA Times:
What's worse, Obama's apparent gaffe or the RNC pouncing on a Holocaust-related historical mistake for political advantage?
