I was looking thru my e-mail this morning at work and one email in particular got my attention. It was from my uncle... in powerpoint about the Holocaust!(The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστον (holókauston): holos, "completely" and kaustos, "burnt"), also known as haShoah (Hebrew: השואה), Churben (Yiddish: חורבן) is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.[2] Wikipedia)
Its been more than 60 years since World War II and it seems that people already want to forget or just dont want to remember. Others simply dont believe that it happened! How can you be blind in face of history?!
Real people ,human beings died ( millions actually). How can you deny the facts? The Pictures? The stories?!!!
What we dont like we, usually tend to deny or not aknowledge and since technology seems to be taking over the new generations forget or dont even hear about what happened more than 60 years ago.
Dont get me wrong ! I am not Jewish ( so that you can say that i am with them) I am christian Orthodox, but that doesnt mean that i am blind because of what i believe in .
I know people think that God is the absolute power and that he is always right , but how CAN HE BE ALWAYS RIGHT when so many people died?!
Not saying that divine intervention would have been the best , but like many that survived the concentration camps said " Where was God?" keeping in mind that Jews are Gods people.
I always wondered how can a single man destroy or attempt to destroy a race??? He wasnt that smart. Himler was the brain in all of this. Like all the dictator that were...someone was behind the scenes. He could not pulled this of on his own.
What was he really thinking? Did he really believed that he can create a perfect race...the Arian race and rule the world? No mentally healthy human being would have thought that.
How can you kill millions of people and just...just...get away with it?
In that case...Ignorance is bliss! Ignoring and pretending that nothing is going on and that you are doing the world a good by anihilating innocent people ...millions and millions and innocent people .
It makes me sick to see that people have no clue about what happened. It was real and real people have to live with painful memories all their lives, just because like now , back them people didnt believed that Jews were murdered . Mass murdered!!!! They were good , so why should they care about anything else?!
The concentration camps were build in places that were safe from public eyes. And even if they werent the germans were so swept in with the idea of a perfect race that they probbably would not care !
Extermination camps included Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz-Birkenau.Probably the most important one being Auchwitz -Birkenau.
More than 3 milion died in Auschwitz being gased with Zyklon B, and after being burned so that no evidence would be left behind ..
One person that stands out in Auschwitz is the famous doctor Joseph Mengele. It is said that even SS soldiers were affraid of him. "No one messed with his twins" he was obsessed with twins...he called it fascination!( ha).
He conducted the most gruesome experiemets known to happen in the concentration camps. He stitced twins ogether, injected colours in their eyes to see if they are going to change colours , injected them with different diseases to find out cures....but as you can imagine most of the diseases were never cured and babies and children died for the obssesion of a mad man!!!! And he got away with it long after the war was over. What punishement does such a human being deserve???
In my opinion he got just what he deserved! He has so obsessed with his work that he eventually went crazy and almost died without knowing his own son, somewhere in Brazil( if my memory doesnt fail me) .
Only if you read the books, the stories , ull get a chance to see what the Holocaust meant for our world.
The book that i highly recomend would be : Children of the flames, Night( elie Weisel) and the autobiograpy of Adolf Hitler ( mein Kampf) just to see or just to get a grip on how the division of "Mother Germany " affected him and when he got the chance he revenged everything he had to go thru !
