  10. Because PTSD or shell shock not considered psych damage but cowardice then by most. Eisenhower thought not with Patton but not everyone agreed. Germans didnt. Im sure Stalin didn't if he would execute for surrendering. People forget that was nearly 100 years ago in 1939(82 anyway). Expecting people to be as we are now is ridiculous. Prince Charles divorcing was almost sympathized with by many. Edward's divorce shocking. Medicine was very primitive before WW2. AND if there was chauvinism, it was much worse. Its why few know about the prostitution of women inmates of camps in WW2. Who wanted to be demonized after just surviving; and frankly, while Poland got a raw deal, they hardly have made up for governments which confiscated Jewish property before cold war and WW2. Not being complicit til after occupations. They must feel guilty or they a wouldnt impose prison on people for saying "Polish" in connection with camps. But you cant tell me there were no collaborators or just people who took advantage, like the food merchants of the ghetto residents. I saw this Polish grocer in documentary who acted like exploiting ghetto residents was a must--like because "everyone" profited, it was ok to charge 1,000 or 10,000 times value of bread because his family could. He even smirked as he discussed it. He said,"that is how life is!" over & over. Polish grocer and then soldier. Collaborators are among us all. Not all done as selfishly but they are there. Some probably feared Germans but there were those who saved and helped Jews in all Europe. Like the Polish girl who saved 17 Jews. She and her little sister. HIDDEN IN SILENCE is a film about it. She risked her life and limb, even when she felt overwhelmed she prayed and carried on. I think she is "righteous among the nations." Now Poland waited decades and did that shameless deed of prosecuting those who misspeak. Pope JP II wouldnt approve, but Poles arent as devout as they once were. Noone is.

  12. It IS wrong on the one hand, but after you have spent months treated worse than a MOROCCAN CAMEL--if that well--someone or other bashing you with. whips, gun barrels, sticks, and forced to see or be part of executions of people who simply wanted out or had only just arrived, You see the dead falling or pushed from a train car where there are 60 or 100 people sitting with one pot to pee in and no water; usually you stood because there is no room to do otherwise; if someone dies, they cant be buried or mourned easily. Then they may have put you on a siding for 3 days with no amenities whatever. Finally you arrived. You couldnt think straight before with no food, no sleep--frozen or burning up, heart thumping like a heart attack, if you are "lucky" to "live," you get to see worse for another several months till they kill YOU after you've lost your one asset--the ability to work for 16 hours a day for a cup of hot water with a little chicken skin and maybe another with a little coffee in it. Some survived a death march; or the Soviets or Americans or someone arrived if you weren't executed on your way into Germany--lucky you! No wonder they killed the guards who fed on Hassenfeffer(sp.?) cabbage, while you starved. Oskar Groening said he didn't kill anyone; he never tried to save anyone or ameliorate their conditions either. He was too busy stealing their money and jewelry, if they had any. Rich Jews, they called them because they had a gold plated watch and a few jewels from presents. Maybe a gold filling. Its a wonder any of those guards survived once liberation began by any means?!

Dad re.serried had 5 more kids. Never saw him or Mom. Even so we were g well off. Mom sent us xownstreet to Harold's Hamburgers. ID go to close store. Sometime es wed go to FOODLINER--1950s Marsh Supermarket. I swim and walked to park and to movle matinees--Tarzan, Flash Gordon. Saw Samson & Delilah, Sands of Iwo Jima, WIZARD OF OZ REISSUE IN 1953. We went to Church by ourselves in a cab or by bus on Sundays and holydays. Mom just couldnt function alone but never remarried. Dad was in Kansas at Ft. Leavenworth as he was an MP.

  104.  @Love.life.ashigzoya  Egypt not original Jewish Homeland. They went there because joseph was kidnaped and sold into slavery there and Pharoah had dreams Joseph interpreted that helped them. So all jacobs other sons came to live and discovered the bro. they sold out of jealousy. Joseph had great place with pharoah but time and pharoahs make jews slaves in Egypt . Then moses raised as pharoah adopted son of Egyptian princess because she had her nurse take him out of bulrushes where real mom stowed him in Kind of little boat due to the then pharoah saying next jewish boys to be born to be killed His sister kept an eye on him in nile.. Finally the first born pharoah jealous and it gets more complicated. Moses kills Egyptian for persecuting jews so moses flees and meets his future wife. Then comes back and gets brother Aaron & I AM WHO AM OR JEHOVAH tells him to tell Pharoah to"LET MY PEOPLE GO." 7 PLAGUES SENT . LAST DEATH OF 1ST BORN. Pharoah lets the jews go who had become slaves thru century or so, and then decides after his 1st borne dies, to chase them. God parts Red Sea and Jews cross. Then after Jews get out, pharoah and army goes in and sea is put back together again. Pharoah & army drown. Then MOUNT SINAI & 10 COMMANDMENTS AND THEY GO TO PROMISED LAND --MODERN DAY ISRAEL PLUS BIGGER THEN. THEY STILL FOUGHT OFF ENEMIES--philistines, babylonians and others. Later. After Romans. way later Diaspora, then return a few centuries ago til now. They look for messiah; Christians believe He came and will come again. Jews dont believe that. Christians believe when jews are converted, it will be 2nd coming of Christ. Jews looking for first messiah.

  193. Not all Nazis were Germans. Not all Germans Nazis or else no "White rose"which were a small dissident group. There were Polish collaborators after all, just as there were people who individually saved Jews in Germany & in Poland. If you didnt join Nazi party and were elgible, your life was often made miserable in Germany, and you could lose your job. If you had children, it was worse. Children were encouraged to spy on and report parents and neighbors. One man was reported as having guns buried in his yard. Even though he didnt, he was still prosecuted and punished. Germans became even more frightened as they were losing in 1944 after 20 july & 1945 because everyone feared Russians and Allies as well as gestapo and ither neighbor Germans. Many hung themselves if officials. Many child soldiers were hung or shot because they chose to run home. Some were under 13. It was a terrible time. Poles suffered too, I know. But I think if you had to join that damned party just to survive, it is no wonder Germans are of that period considered Nazis unless they did something exceedingly brave. Consider that a person could be killed for just being aware possibly of dissidents and not reporting it as Rommel was. Fortunatelg he was popular or his son and wife might not have been spared. Thousands were murdered because of fhat July 1944 plot. Who knows if they were a part of it! So, a lot of innocence were branded for nothing more than someone in Nazi party having suspicions. I think that head Nazi Judge was hung, although Im not certain. I hope it doesnt happen again anywhere but know it a naive hope as there are people still unfairly targeted in many countries for political and religious differences.

  217. The boy in the striped pjs is a Holocaust film. What was done there is simply sick and not human.Holocaust film or nit the commandant son getting gassed may not have hap,ened. It doesnt make it right or better. but THE YOUNG LIONS is a war film IN B&W. Marlin Brando is a Wehrmacht officer always faced with brutality, and he won't just kill people because they arent Germans; however, Dean Martin and Montgomery Clift--Noah Ackerman, who is a Jewish American, & Italian American GI, are faced with real battles daily once overseas in Europe. I'd seen it but forgot the kicker ending. So, killing is pretty much part of war films, but Holocaust is excruciating. The Young Lions was simply war; of course this ending would happen! And it kind of made me mad, but I almost expected it. If I told it, it would be a spoiler. They show all three soldiers at home, in Paris. Brando finally goes awol with a Wehrmacht photographer. You see, they had interpreters, photographers, journalists, Einsatzgruppen and SS. I almost think they could have won the war except for so much involvement in persecuting civilians. Maybe its why so many of those ideological wars fail--eventually. And firebombing and nukes are the development of WMD. And overtime, they end up as used like ABomb was and may be again. But powerful tyrants or not so powerful dont think necessarily of consequences. If radical, only perhaps of their goal for their ideology. So, in the end, you know what may happen to us all. I understand why the bombs were dropped. But however justifiable, could there have been another way? I HONESTLY DONT KNOW. If the Bushido and Nazi and fascism and Atheistic Communism could have been stopped--maybe. It seems there are always tyrannys. Always! As a documentary host said war is insane, but it seems it is how Man will end his existence!

  248.  @salingstuff8085 NO!. ABSOLUTELY NOT! The people in occupied Countries, whether in camps or not, were rationed so that the German military were fed. In at least 3 documentaries you can see how rationing went for even German or American civilians; however, while not as strict on Aryan civilians, the Nazis starved concentration camp and deathcamp inmates intentionally. You can see that in the film ESCAPE FROM SOBIBOR which Is the true story of how with a great deal of help from USSR pows the Jewish inmates made an escape from the camp of 600 people. 350 got away but 300 were recaptured and murdered. There are survivor testimonies that certify that in 1944 when they were taken on forced marches, anyone who tried to stop to even pick up snow for thirst or tried to eat was killed. Even for stopping. The Nazis gorged themselves so that inmates called them pigs. Nazis would not let them eat but the meagerest of one watery soup and a notoriously inadequately in nutrients bread to stay alive if laborers for about 90 days. More than 99% were murdered on arrival by gas in the showers and people were fooled until & if sondercommandoes found their relatives' clothing in sorting through what was removed by others. Which was gold, in jewelry or fillings of teeth, glasses, money, shoes, clothes, pictures and anything else the Jews or others brought in suitcases. To say it was bombing or anything else that was done by allies is naive because the reason for the camps particularly outside Germany proper had always been to kill the inmates whether Jewish or other while cobcealing much of it from them from 1941. Hitler was not a pan religionist nor Catholic nor Jew but a man whose only religion really involved himself as messiah. He tolerated religions but his intention toward all non Aryans or religious Europeans as well as Muslims was to dismiss their religions when it was convenient by steps. He wanted the pope dead as well as Protestant clergy and bishops; and he incarcerated and murdered 450,000 Catholics; large numbers of other religious members of churches, using Churches in Germany for either Hitler shrines or as warehouses elsewhere particularly. Since they perpetrated murders by hundreds or thousands or even 10s of thousands by shooting, why would SS & other Nazis bother worrying about food too much. They didn't. Allies didnt want to believe this either. Jews tried to think otherwise even as wholesale slaughters went on in ghettoes, camps. etc. See Schindlers List or Schindler's Ark--book and even without poetic license what Amon Gothe the Commandant did that was as in the film. Klaus Barbie skinned people alive and starved and hung Jews and dissidents most cruelly. His own family became less than friendly toward him. Nazis were not normal psychologically after decade and half of exposure to Nazi racial theory and institutionalized terror.. Jews were capitalist/communist world controllers to them, who lost WW1 for germans--irrationally. Non Aryans were subhumans as were the sick & disabled. Read what AH thought in Mein Kampf or Rise and Fall of the Third Reich or any witness testimony. Hitler deserves no benefit of any doubt however well intentioned. You are deluded in the extreme if you think Hitler was somehow undermined. He was a horrendous bigot and opportunist . i am not Jewish but using an Amish Austrian Swiss name. Where you got all your info from??? Must be from the fascistic, Nazi Holocaust denyers' handbook. That is the worst I've heard in 50 plus years of hearing tripe.
