Waltz through WW2 lane

I recently plugged in the cable to our TV. I'd been planning to plug it in the computer room but the boxes kinda prevented that from happening, so it's back in the living room again.

Anyway, they recently had a documentary on the Nazis and the concentration camps. *shivers* Seeing all those dead bodies, those starved, beaten dead bodies...

My grandpa (Dad's side) actually was clean up crew for WW2. He had this big chest where he kept all his WW2 stuff in. It went to my Aunt, but I remember looking through there. There were pictures of bodies, two people tall, piled up in heaps.

*shivers*

What horrible horrible things were done. The worst being that the "free" nations directly affected what happened to the jews. Apparently when the Nazis first started their campain against the jews, they were basically just trying to force them OUT of country. This wasn't too bad at first, but when the Nazis took over some neighboring nations, they inheritated millions of jews with them. That meant millions of jews had to move!

Places like America and Britian apparently didn't like Jews much more than the Germans. Only 30% of people in the USA believed Jews deserved equal rights like any citizen. In fact, the opinion of Jews was so low that America tried to stop Jewish immigration! Our government knew about the concentration camps before the war ended but told their informents to stop giving them info, "because it was causing problems". Eventually the concentration camps finally got into the newspapers world wide, but no one really cared. There was almost no public out cry!

Anyway, the camps were partially made to deal with all the jews the Nazis couldn't "export"! They had to do something with them, but obviously they couldn't be treated like human beings since the Nazi doctrine taught they weren't human at all.

My inside just squrims and dies on the inside every time I see anything about WW2. No nation was a "good guy" during that war, they all contributed to millions of murders, whether they did or didn't do anything.
