County Republican party criticized for Holocaust post

Jan. 27 was the 74th International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the Harris County Republican Party marked the occasion with a controversial Facebook post that read in part, "Leftism kills. In memory of the 6 million Jews lost to Nazi hatred in the name of National Socialism. We will never forget." The post was eventually taken down, but the communications director at the Harris County Republican Party told the Houston Chronicle that "history recognizes that the Jews were killed by the Nazis and the Nazis were officially the National Socialist Workers Party."

University of Houston-Downtown associate professor of history Gene Preuss, Ph.D., discusses the post with Isiah Carey.
