Thanks for sharing Mikey.

It is that dark stain in our history, that will haunt us Germans forever. What and how it happened is simply not excusable.
I don't know if anyone blames all Germans at the time, but I do blame a handfull at the top, under Hitler... Citizens that tried to help the jews were killed by the military, and since Hitler took all their weapons away, there was nothing the people could do to help...

Sure, I think the blame definitely laid at the top.
The majority of people were following orders so they could survive, as most nations do, although not in the same way.
Same as the Russians shot there own!
both those leaders at that time were bad, thinking that fear kept them in control... It only works for a short time, then the people start to get tired of being scared...

Yes, they do. maybe we'll see more uprisings in the future. problem is that those countries don't have anything to replace them with!
I had more empathy visiting the cemeteries in France, Belgium than I did auschwitz, although very sad it was such an industrial scale it was hard to feel it!

its easier to feel empathy towards a name and a date on a headstone than millions of people just thrown in a ditch and covered with dirt with no individuality present... I can't begin to understand how horrific that would have been... I hope all of them are having a nice time now with their God...

I think the jews were the biggest voice left after the war hence them being so prominent.
In my op I do state that it was the 'final solution' and that was to exterminate the jews!
Next to the piles of shoes there were also piles of children's body braces, prosthetic limbs removed from the disabled.

Untermensch as the Nazis called them.

Auschwitz and birkenau were only 2 out of 47 camps.
The our driver told us a story of how rockafella, goldman and Sach and others were funding the nazi war machine in the late 30s early 40's before America joined in! I've not been able to verify that, could be just another story!

Around the 26 million mark I think?
If you totalled it up it's not far off the total population of the UK now!

True :thumbsup:
I'm sure we (uk ) didn't finish paying our debt to you until the late 70's early 80s! In my opinion the french should have paid it oh and the germans!

Mikey,
Thanks for sharing about your trip. Very somber and infuriating to see where such evil happened.

I still can't understand how anyone could inflict such harm on others like this.

occasionally on the tv they'll have a survivor, very old and frail.
They were just children.
Thanks Conrad

Thanks 2email I feel the same.
Ok, you may hate or have a problem with an adult but some of those who led little children by the hand to there death are beyond words.
I'm not referring to the picture, that was women and children fresh off the train going straight to the gas chamber!

It is imperative That we and future generation remember. We all must remember the horror of this. It goes on decade after decade. In Africa no one intervened. Also, remember the countries of the world would not accept Jewish immigration that what I find shameful even when they were being exterminated. That what is happening today with Syrian Refugees and the refugee from the middle East. Governments really don't represent the PEOPLE or it citizens well.
