DEAR EDITOR:

As to what these two despicable people have in common, let’s start with SS Himmler.

Herr Himmler was one of the architects of the Holocaust, Hitler’s bodyguard, oversaw the Gestapo and SS, enforcer of Nazi racial policies, and was responsible for operating concentration and extermination camps, and forming the death squads in German-occupied Europe. This travesty of a human being was a major contributor to genocide, better known as the Holocaust. After a falling out with Hitler at the closing of WWII, he committed suicide.

Now, as regards Stephen Miller, 47’s deputy chief of staff and avowed racist and white supremacist, a major — if not THE major — architect of his narcissistic Fuhrer’s repressive immigration policy and homeland security adviser — let me highlight his proudest accomplishments to date. SS Miller was quite instrumental in 47’s family separation policy and recently spearheaded the so-called administration’s deployment of Army and National Guard troops to D.C. and the takeover of the city’s police department. This extremist has strongly advocated for and influenced 47’s elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion throughout the country, especially on college and university campuses.

For years, Miller has espoused xenophobic, homophobic and multicultural rhetoric disavowing America’s pluralistic society while advocating white nationalism as the ONLY way to MAGA: “America is for Americans.” In other words, people of color need not apply or even be on American soil.

This is an individual who has been called a hypocrite by his Jewish uncle, Dr. David S. Closser, a retired neuropsychologist, and renounced by his former rabbi, Neil Comess-Daniels, the spiritual leader of Beth Shir Shalome synagogue in Santa Monica, California. Both men have denounced Miller, who has abdicated his Jewish values.

Need I say more as to what Himmler and Miller have in common? Extremists in every sense of the word and completely devoid of any sense of humanitarianism. Perhaps Miller’s climb to power, control and implacable retribution will end in a similar fashion as Himmler’s.
