And Hitler was a rank amateur compared to Stalin. But since Hitler apparently killed more Jews, I guess that makes him more evil, huh?
Anyways.
I wouldn't take what these people say too seriously.
But what is disturbing is how people can say this even though their lives don't reflect things they say. I think you have to earn every word you say. Which is what makes what goes on in my life so damn difficult all the time.
Theres been many nutcases in History killing off ethnics groups left right and centre. Hitler is classed as more evil because he was the first really to make the world sit back and take notice.
A jew is not worth more than another, as we all know Hitler targeted alot of people.
As for Auchswitz the place is beyond words, and before the mass killings started the Allies were going to bomb it, but choose not to at the risk of hitting the jews themselves.
So who shall we blame now? Hitler for creating it or the Allies for not destorying it before it started.
I am sure 100,000 lives lost by Allies bombing is better than 6 million via different methods of disposal.
I am in the same position as you, I lost 100 family members, and sadly in 1965,
DB I am sorry for your loss.
There are many records kept, one thing about the Nazi's they loved paperwork.
My grandmother who was lucky and liberated from Auchswitz, had spoken at great lengthens about it to us, she made a point of telling us, getting us to remember this.
Even tho they had her body imprisoned, and taken everything they could from her, she kept two things, her Pride and her own mind. And to close your eyes and remember things is the biggest freedom even the devil himself can not touch.
