Dunno if its politics or not but whatever?

Still almost too evil too believe and it happened less than a century ago.

Think there is a few documentaries around but I guess you have to be in the right place to watch them.

Still quite hard to comprehend even until this day.

Interesting stat I learned today if you gave each victims a minutes silence you would be silent for 11 and a half years. (Or so I read)

Staggering inhumanity.

Sadly as obscene an event it was it's denied by some and has been repeated albeit on smaller scales several times..

Have visited Bergen Belsen and the Holocaust 'museum' and it's a truly awful indictment of just how low we can as a species go..

I think the denial stuff is just in the fevered imaginations of the odd fuckwit.

I don't think anyone with half a brain gives it any credence.

There was a documentary on netflix a while ago about the trial of a guard who was supposed to be at belsen which was excellent.

'Merry Christmas'

And still to this day more than a few people deny it ever happened.

I lived in Berlin for quite a while following a cultural exchange from University. You could live 12 months there and still not get a proper feel for the institutional nature of the Nazis and the horrors they committed.

Also look up Oradour-sur-Glane (France) ignore the wikipedia entry it has very little detail. Instead, go to the Oradour-sur-Glane memorial sites.

They have that holocaust museum which is quite good and that maze thing.

Most of the camps were in the east away from Berlin.

I sat aghast in Anne Franks house where a number of chuckling tourists hijacked an interactive poll where they unanimously voted to say the Holocaust never happene.

That's terrible, it was when we went by very quiet and peaceful..

When you look at how she had to live and for how long it gives a reality to what is going on now which is hard for some I agree..

Sadly it seems throughout history we keep performing acts like this and never really learn no matter how much its chronicled.

Unfortunately with the advent of social media we can see how quick others are to

dehumanise their perceived enemy, bit worrying tbh

Whilst there have been other atrocities, I'm not sure anything matches upto that.

Many gmnts dehumanise groups..look how we treat ayslum seekers.

Once a group is stigmatised and blamed for everything..its easy.

I dunno if you far enough back into History its easy to find such things

Ceasers Genocide in Gaul or what the Mongols got up to in the Middle East, Russia and China. Im sure if they had the tech and logistics of the modern age it would of ended in a similar result.

The Japenese did an similar thing to the Chinese in the 20's maybe not to the exact same scale but the acts they committed in themeselves are arguably even more horrific
