  2. He was literally at the heart of one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century. You don't become an accountant of the SS-Totenkopfverbände in Auswitz on accident and you are not forced to either. He was an enthusiastic perpetrator.

  3. No one was forced to be in the SS. And of the SS no one was forced to work in a concentration camp. If you were there, you were there intentionally. Besides, being a follower doesn't make you less guilty. It just makes you a coward on top of being guilty.

  4.  @doggosandcattos_2548  100% wrong. No one was forced in the SS. In particular no one was forced into the Totenkopfverbände. Those people were there, because they wanted to.

  5. "For following orders"? You say that as if following orders was perfectly good under all circumstances. Following orders is as bad as the worst orders you can receive. I have less respect for someone, who blindly follows orders than for someone, who commits atrocities on their own accord. You are a coward.

  6. >if he betrayed the nazis he would have died at age 18 Betrayed?! He was 100% with them. You don't become a member of the Totenkompfverbände by accident. Also the alternatives are not guard at Auswitz vs resistance fighter. He simply could not have joined the guards. Or the SS.

  7. It is also to deter other criminals. Persecuting old atrocities is good, because it tells people that even if there is no one to punish them now, their past might eventually catch up to them.

  8.  @shorty-pz3yt  That is the single most idiotic and horrible thing I ever had to read on youtube.

  9. A lot of atrocities like the holocaust are going on right now. And a lot will happen in the future. Late justice might yet deter people. Even if there is no one alive to punish you today, your past might catch up to you.

  10. If there were still any alive, we should. Why are you so opposed to an enthusiastic supporter of genocide to receive at least a tiny bit of retribution?

  11. We should at least put labels on his statues saying that he was a horrible person.

  12.  @dzzuel6008  Lies. To claim that you would get hanged for not being an SS accountant at Auswitz is downright comical.

  13. He directly supported and participated in one of the greatest atrocities of the 20th century. Even if it's late, such things not simply being ignored does help to deter others. Even if there is no one to punish you now, your past can catch up with you.

  14. Yes, to deter atrocities in the future. There might be no one alive today to punish you, but your past might catch up to you.

  15.  @lunarcultist6214  Mate, he was a member of the SS-Totenkopfverbände and an accountant at Auswitz. You really don't get any more informed than that.

  16.  @granddoctor7391  It absolutely doesn't get any more guilty than an accountant of the SS-Totenkopfverbände at Auswitz. He wasn't even a follower, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the holocaust. You don't get into that position by accident.

  17. If the people then judge it to be a crime, why not? It's good for people to have a come-uppance even if it's late. That means they will think twice about what they do even if there is no one alive to punish them now.
