Meh, he also nuked hundreds of thousands of civilians, under the pretense to stop the war. If the Japs had the nuke and used on civilians in the US and US won the war anyway, i am sure it will be remembered more than concentration camps

This isn’t factual. The first two Nuclear Devices were used without the knowledge of Eisenhower and was horrified when he learned of the aftermath. Someone else commented further down on his atrocities and while I believe the statements made, I cannot confirm those. I can confirm that he was kept in the dark about the use of nuclear weapons, and stopped a third device being used

You are right, I mixed him up with Truman.
