Letter: A coward's war
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In your leading article "Truth is always the best basis for reconciliation" (19 June), I was amazed to read that "there were no concentration camps in Germany at the start of the Second World War". My father endured the horrors of Dachau and Buchenwald for a year before the outbreak of that war. Sachsenhausen and Ravensbruck also existed in the 1930s. The Nazis established concentration camps soon after their rise to power. They were not a response to bombing.
