re: Your thoughts on Schindler's List?

what the nazis did to the Jews, Gypsies, Gays, Artists, Politicians and Dissidents is horrific

what Stalin did to his OWN people defies all logic and description.

quote:

---

* One million imprisoned or exiled from 1927 to 1929, falsely accused of being saboteurs or members of opposition parties.

* Nine million to 11 million of the more prosperous peasants driven from their lands and another two million to three million arrested or exiled in the early 1930's campaign of forced farm collectivization. Many of these were believed to have been killed.

* Six million to seven million killed in the punitive famine inflicted on peasants in 1932 and 1933.

* One million exiled from Moscow and Leningrad in 1935 for belonging to families of former nobility, merchants, capitalists and officials.

* About one million executed in the ''great terror'' of 1937-38, and another four million to six million sent to forced labor camps from which most, including Mr. Medvedev's father, did not return.

* Two million to three million sent to camps for violating absurdly strict labor laws imposed in 1940.

* At least 10 million to 12 million ''repressed'' in World War II, including millions of Soviet-Germans and other ethnic minorities forcibly relocated.

* More than one million arrested on political grounds from 1946 to Stalin's death in 1953.

one thing I have always wondered about is what did they do with all the bodies? mass graves isnt going to make a million corpses go away.

I disagree

From strictly a numbers standpoint, Stalin has Hilter beat obviously. But I think the way in which each carried out their crimes is what makes Hitler's actions worse.

The Nazis carried out mass human extermination in a very bureaucratic, efficient manner. It was industrial, it was methodical. It was like another day on the job. They were set on eliminating an entire race of people. Women, children who posed no threat to them. Experiments, you name it.

Unlike other genocides, which were basically one group eliminating the opposition or people they deemed threats to their power. What the Nazis did defied all logic and description imo

I still don't know to this day if i could step foot in Auschwitz
