Re: Bodies of the Jewish Being Sent for Cremation
Were they at war? I thought it was Hitler's ethnic cleansing massacre? The Jewish were basically innocent victims . I don't think they were at war with anybody....I could be wrong though....  |

Re: Bodies of the Jewish Being Sent for Cremation
That is correct, they were totally innocent victims, along with the gypsies, handicapped, gays and other 'undesirables' - and you were also correct to take issue with malaysianbest's comment - anyone that thinks that ethnic cleansing or anything resembling it is a standard cost of war needs to be taken out behind the woodshed and shot like a rabid animal...that kind of attitude is what has turned Africa into such a hellhole...  |

Re: Bodies of the Jewish Being Sent for Cremation
I think a lot of the time misinformation is what gets people in trouble. I think what happened in Hitler's reign of terror was by far the worst atrocity in history. Hell, it was so horrid a lot of people deny that it happened. I think a lot of that comes from not being able to deal with the reality, that something like that could happen.Some people WON'T accept it because they CAN'T. Basically, it's hating someone who is different than you, or having different beliefs than you. All of the intolerence and hate is what ruins people and nations.  |

Re: Bodies of the Jewish Being Sent for Cremation
Small correction - the Nazi crimes are pretty well tied with Stalin's decades long purges, if not pushed to second - Stalin killed more people, over a longer period of time...and got away with it...no one came close to suspecting the scale of the atrocities commited by his orders until long after his death, and many historians are convinced that the real toll was far greater than we know of now... I would also count the destruction of the meso-american peoples by Europeans and their diseases as another front runner for the title of worst collective crime in history, but that's a much more complicated debate than I can put into a single post, so I'll just leave it at that... As far as intolerance and hate goes, it is an unfortunate fact that humans are a tribal species, hardwired to think in terms of us and them, and in addition our brains automatically catagorize things in our lives to allow for fast assesments of risks etc...so we will always judge people by what groups they come from...it's what we do with those impressions that makes us who we are... |
