Years ago, I watched a documentary called Shoah. It was about nine hours of interviews with people that were somehow a witness to the Holocaust. They might have lived near a camp, they may have been Jews that survived the camps, a Nazi soldier, the engineer that drove the train, whatever. The documentary goes into great detail about how much effort the Nazis put into making the death camps into highly efficient killing factories. It's all subtitled and not easy to stick with in spots. But if you ever have the time and can find a copy, it's a must see for those who have an interest. They do a great job of showing just how evil these people really were and to what lengths they would go to make their "Final Solution" a success.
Forgot to say, they interviewed a former guard from Treblinka. They pretended to be Neo Nazi sympathizers, or whatever, and filmed him with a hidden camera. They asked him about a song that the Jews were forced to learn and sing for the Commandant of the camp. His comment was something like, yes he made them learn and sing the camp song for his entertainment, even though he knew they would be dead within 24 hours of arriving.

It's amazing how many lives were lost in WW2. The numbers are unreal in today's world.
Russia still has a relatively low population number due in part to the massive losses in WWII

Just finished RAVENSBRUK, HITLER"S DEATH CAMP FOR WOMEN. Most libraries have it. I've read a lot of books on WWII and the camps and this was the most detailed, graphic book I gave read.Written through the story telling of survivors and official Nazi documents, from the building of the camp till it was liberated by the Russians. If any felt the Nazi guards were just guards protecting the camp, the survivor's stories show them to be among the most evil people in the world. And as the Jews, for the most part, were murdered early on once they entered the camp, the victims were Poles, French, Hungarians, Germans, etc. To study ways to medically cure infections among the German wounded, prisoners' legs were cut open, thigh to calf, and the wounds filled with dirt, twigs,glass, shite, and then wrapped & left to fester. No cures ever came out of this practice or any other medical experiments. As an aside, Himmler had a mistress living nearby, in a mansion, and whenever he would visit her, he would always stop at the camp to study various experiments as well as the gas chambers doing their work.

If anyone wants to feel good about his/her life in America, read about Josef Mengele. Was at Auschwitz-Birkenau instead of Treblinka but still. That motherfricker would sew twins together, inject dye into their eyes, infect both twins with diseases to see which one would die first, switch arms on the twins, and so many other atrocious things.
It’s almost unfathomable how a sophisticated society like Germany was brainwashed into being that evil.

Dad's unit was just outside Buchenwald when the war ended. They went to the town and made the German's come into the camp and walk through it. According to dad, They swore they never knew. Most were angry at the US troops and very few cried at what they saw.
56,000 died there. Until about a year before he died, Dad refused to talk about it. However, for years, he would get up in the middle of the night and walk the house.

A guy I have know for a long time was once a prison guard, for him at the time it was a good job, one day he came home early, and told his wife he had quit, she asked what happened, and he said "I realized what I had become."

That's a recurring atrocity story that's been common since the ancient world. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, just interesting.

Supposedly meth played some role but damn. They were hands down the most advanced covilization in the world.

I’m sure it has happened in EBR Parish.
We are talking about the Holocaust here, try to keep up.
If you want to start a (possibly “interesting”?) thread about the eternal cruelty of humanity towards each other, feel free.

A lot of brainwashed sheep in this thread.. Always research both sides of a story, rather than listening to one side, which is mostly Soviet propaganda.

And I tried to politely point out that a particular claim of atrocity has reached the level of "the dog ate my homework" or "the check is in the mail".

You’re right, your attempt to shift the context of evil in a thread about the Holocaust is a brilliant game plan.
Keep going with it.
Your banal attempt at what you consider your point was weak, everyone knows murders occur daily worldwide.
To bring that up in a Holocaust-related thread was dumb.
~20k murders per year in the US, vs ~7 million over 4 years
Good plan there Sport.
