One-on-one with George Takei touring Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills
Famed actor George Takei spoke only to 7 Action News at the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills on Friday, talking about his own experience at a Japanese internment camp.
When a Holocaust Museum Whitewashes a Nazi.
It would take courage to tell the truth about Henry Ford in Detroit; but it is, by the same token, real cowardice to lie. Detroit? Okay, technically, this is in Farmington Hills, Michigan, but it's a suburb of Detroit.
If you'd like to know more, here's a relatively brief article that clarifies the timeline of just how long Henry Ford continued to support the German side (covertly and overtly) as the war began to unfold. Link:
For an article giving you more information about the earlier history of how Henry Ford first formed and expressed his extreme views, and his publishing campaign in the 1920s, see:
CORRECTIONS. (1) A viewer wrote in to insist that Hitler and Ford never met face-to-face, and, googling around, this seems to be true (Ford refused to travel to Germany in 1938, and received the award from Hitler only in an abstract sense, in the U.S.A.). (2) Although it is confirmed that Hitler kept portraits of Henry Ford, it has *not* been confirmed that Ford had portraits of Hitler: it is possible that this is a false symmetry that has crept into the telling of history.
To be clear as to which holocaust museum we're talking about, this is a critique and review of the curatorial and political content of:

The Survivor
Samuel Pruchno (86) (pronounce: prooch-no) was placed in a concentration camp when he was fourteen years old and remained until liberated from Dachau by the Americans on May 1, 1945.
Ten years ago, he noticed that there were no paintings of the camps by a survivor and was compelled to tell his story so the world remembers.
Mr. Pruchno's work is displayed prominently at the Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus in Farmington Hills, Michigan, where this interview was captured. He is still painting and starting a new piece soon.

Mathis Purple Heart Reunification
More than 70 years later, Lt. Col. Matthew Yandura and Cadet Jay Choi, reunite the Purple Heart medal and certificate with the family of Tech. 5th Grade Robert Mathis, Nov. 13, 2016, at the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, Mich.
In 2013 Lt. Col. Matthew Yandura was stationed at the Jerusalem Consulate and discovered Robert Mathis’ Purple Heart certificate in a consignment shop. After years of research, Cadet Jay Choi, a senior in the Loyola Army Reserve Officer Training Corps program, was finally able to locate members of Robert’s family.
In 1912, Reuven Matusevitch was born in Kaunas, Lithuania and after graduating college and completing his Lithuanian Army Service, he immigrated to the United States around 1939 and joined his siblings and family members there. He changed his name to Robert Mathis and enlisted into the Army’s 36th Combat Engineers where he was deployed to defend the beachfront of Anzio, Italy, perishing in action there. Robert's family perished during the Nazi invasion around 1941.

Jews in US army during the World War Two - Ritchie Boys
The Ritchie Boys were the US special military intelligence officers and enlisted men of World War II who were trained at Camp Ritchie, Maryland. The Ritchie Boys consisted of approximately 15,200 servicemen. 2,200, of them were Jewish refugees born in Germany and Austria. Many of them were German-speaking immigrants to the United States, often Jews who fled Nazi persecution. Many of the arrivals were mistrusted as enemy aliens after arriving in the U.S. That was until the U.S. military realized the potential of these young Jewish men as intelligence specialists. Their ability to speak German and their knowledge of Nazi-occupied territory made them invaluable. Jewish refugees were suitable for these tasks because they knew the German language, and importantly the German mentality and behavior, better than most American-born soldiers. Many of them entered Europe on D-Day, 6 June 1944. Others followed over time. Shortly after reaching land, they left their units and pursued their special tasks. Gen. Oscar Koch acknowledged that the advance warning of the German Bulge offensive was made possible by information gathered by their MIS units. After the war, many of the Ritchie Boys served as translators and interrogators, some during the Nuremberg Trials. The first-ever reunion of the Ritchie Boys took place from 23–25 July 2011 at the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

SUMMARY
=======
Michigan ( (listen)) is a state in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States.
The state's name, Michigan, originates from the Ojibwe word mishigamaa, meaning large water or large lake. Michigan is the tenth most populous of the 50 United States, with the 11th most extensive total area, and is the largest state by total area east of the Mississippi River. Michigan has a population of about 10 million. Its capital is Lansing and its largest city is Detroit. Metro Detroit is among the nation's most populous and largest metropolitan economies.
Michigan is the only state to consist of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often noted as shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula (often called the U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8 km) channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Mackinac Bridge connects the peninsulas. The state has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair. As a result, it is one of the leading U.S. states for recreational boating. Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. A person in the state is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from a natural water source or more than 85 miles (137 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.The area was first settled by Native American tribes, whose successive cultures occupied the territory for thousands of years. Colonized by French explorers in the 17th century, it was claimed as part of New France. After France's defeat in the French and Indian War in 1762, the region came under British rule. Britain ceded this territory to the newly independent United States after Britain's defeat in the American Revolutionary War. The area was part of the larger Northwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Indiana Territory. Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, but some of the northern border with Canada was not agreed upon until after the War of 1812. Michigan was admitted into the Union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one. It soon became an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region and a popular immigrant destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Although Michigan developed a diverse economy, it is widely known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, which developed as a major economic force in the early 20th century. It is home to the country's three major automobile companies (whose headquarters are all within the Detroit metropolitan area). While sparsely populated, the Upper Peninsula is important for tourism thanks to its abundance of natural resources, while the Lower Peninsula is a center of manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, services, and high-tech industry.
