  4. doing a quick google search on the issue turns up a whole slew of articles. Obama has been called out on this gaffe and he has corrected it by saying he mixed up Auschwitz with a different camp. Ohrduff, or something like that.

  5. rowan - thanks for stopping in and commenting...

    For the record, Obama released a correction. He was mistaken (no duh). His great uncle had been in the liberating force of Ohrduff, part of Buchenwald. Not Auschwitz.
