Brooklyn N.Y… Flag Day, June 14th, is that special day intended to remind Americans they should honor their country by displaying its flag from their homes and public places.
When Polish Americans raise the Stars and Stripes on Flag Day, many of them can’t help recalling what that date in 1940 symbolizes for some of their families or relatives who lived in German-occupied Poland in World War II.
The occupation was not yet ten months old when Hitler and his Nazis opened the gates of Auschwitz to begin their barbaric orgy of torture and murder that was to last there for nearly five long and cruel years.
