While I will agree, to a point. It DOES matter, how many, when the Jewish population was almost wiped out of Western Europe. Not to mention the amount of gypsy, homosexuals, political, and mental and physically handicapped. These people were defective in the eyes of the German government. Therefore wiped out. (a simplified answer to why the final solution was implimented. Of course not the difinative answer but a simpliefied one that works in what I am getting at)
The German's basically got rid of anyone who didn't think, act, or look the way that Hitler wanted. I didn't know the lengths the government went to until I went to the Holocaust museum in DC. Their artifacts are rather disturbing. An excellent movie, is called the WAVE, a made for TV movie. If you can find it, it shows Hitler's Germany in a little more clear and up-to-date explanation. (to see this movie for FREE- http://www.xenutv.com/cults/wave.htm- you can download it ABC after school special) In my opinion it wasn't who they came for because in the end almost no one was safe. First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. ~Pastor Martin Niemöller (German Anti-Nazi activist) |
