He said this and the left leaning press have not even challenged him on it . the russians liberated auschwitz not the amercans .

Very dense of him - wonder what the rationale for such a blunder was?
Still, it's not really in the same league as McCain lying about Baghdad being completely safe while strolling about in body armour, surrounded by soldiers, gunships circling overhead and General Patraeus not needing up-armoured vehicles to get about in.
But he says his uncle is one of the first AMERICANS to make it to Auschwitz, not one of the first allies.
He's not getting nearly as free a ride as McCain is right now, just because McCain is not in the spotlight.
