This video is from Wednesday of this week at a Starbucks coffee shop in Seattle. Supporters and opponents clashed over Starbuck’s announcement that it will not go along with demands to prohibit customers who may legally carry firearms from bringing them into their stores. In the video a woman who supports Starbuck’s policy talks to a woman from the Million Mom March.

Whenever I hear the message of The Million Mom March, that no one should have a gun, I think of the forced march made by some Jewish moms nearly 70 years ago. It’s been called the “First Million Mom March.”

It happened at Mizocz Ghetto, Poland on October 14, 1942. These mom’s husbands were sent to labor and/or death camps. Then the moms were marched to a ravine to be shot. Some were holding infants.

After the mass shooting, some of the Jewish moms were still alive. This picture shows a German policeman shooting them.

It’s astounding that the Germans took pictures of this. The source of these photos is the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. It’s also astounding that the current members of the “Million Mom March” are unmoved by them, or unmoved in any way that might be effective in assuring this sort of thing never happens again.
