Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
Having visited the two Auschwitz camps two months ago, it was staggering to learn what the Nazis did and what they got away with right under people's noses.

It's amazing how many got away right under our noses although some got their come uppance. The Catholic Church and some South American countries should hang their heads in shame over this.

Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
"Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". This is the obvious problem with all societies, the "people" who rise to the top get there for a reason. The horrors perpetrated by the Nazis were highlighted, because of the hideous nature of them.
However, most atrocities in society are hidden and are allowed to remain hidden.

Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
A very moving and disturbing programme. It is somehow comforting to highlight the Catholic Church and 'some South American countries' as Blackrod does as though they were responsible for the holocaust. Let's not forget that Hitler made no secret of his intentions and yet, in the early stages, was democratically voted into a position of power. The Nazis were not an alien race that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they were Germans, Austrians and great numbers that came from other European countries and 'signed up' to the atrocities being perpetrated. Even GB and the USA had their right wing political parties who marginalised the Jews and supported the persecution of them. (Incidentally there was a concentration camp in Poland reserved solely for the internment and persecution of Catholic Priests.)
Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
It's amazing too how Oskar Schindler followed one of these trains into Auschwitz and "reclaimed" 300 of his Jewish workforce. In the midst of evil, there is still good.

Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
If anyone is going or planning to go, take a walk out from Birkenau to the judenramp. No tourists there but this is where the Jews were unloaded until the last six months or so, when the spur was built straight into the camp.
Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
Ken Livingstone does deny it and probably Corbyn would off the record like. Very moving programme. I hoped these awful events would never ever happen again. But just look at the Middle East and they are. Also there are some people and countries who have openly declared that Israel should be obliterated. I'm.not naming the obvious rogue state but you wpuld know if you knew that leader of the opposition in this country has made paid appearances on their state television.conyoviejo wrote:Anybody watch this very moving programme.?

Wait a minute. So the first time it started get reported in western media is when you decided to accuse the left of hypocrisy for not caring about it?
"when it first started emerging into foreign media"
Yes, the left are massive hypocrites for ignoring something they didn't know about, for the exact ******* reason you didn't know about it either.

Still yet to see a fraction of the numbers that turned up to protest trump because they were so outraged over his Muslim ban (that wasn't a Muslim ban) even go anywhere near the Chinese embassy, let alone organise a protest.
Has anyone on the left actually done anything other than write an article in vice?

It probably has something to do with having to defend freedom, democracy and western values from governments we didn't expect to have to defend against.
There's only so many fronts on which a war can be fought, and right now we're having to fight against Donald ******* Trump and the Republicans in America who are packing children into concentration camps over there.
But you keep trying to paint the left and liberals as if we don't give a **** about our neighbours house down the road being on fire because we're focusing on putting out the fire in our own house. Lets see how that argument holds up.

Western democracy is our house.

You might not like it, but it's a fact. Trump is diverting anti-authoritarian resources away from the likes of China and Russia and towards the crimes his administration is committing. This is one of the reasons hypocrisy is really, really bad. You lose moral authority when trying to argue against something someone else is doing when you, or countries you call 'allies', are doing the same thing.

Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
Back to the op.
Having watched the programme, and a few very similar, the most chilling part for me is the matter of fact way they organised the process.
The railway companies were paid a fixed rate of so many pfennigs per jew per kilometre.
Industrialised slaughter on a continental scale.

Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
A lot of evidence was destroyed, but one thing that survived was the minutes of the Wansee Conference survive (the meeting at which the final solution was officially unveiled), and around the time Schindler's List was made, a German film was made based on the minutes of the Wansee Conference. Of the two, Schindler's LIst is horrific but those committing the crimes are sadistic beasts. The horror in the German film is in seeing a group of mid-ranking technocrats and military men sat around a table discussing implementing murder on a grand scale, in the same way you'd expect them to discuss town water provision, or public health.gawthorpe_view wrote:Back to the op.

Re: Hitlers Holocaust Railways
It certainly wasn't just a few following orders and ' sadistic beasts' is probably the most appropriate way of describing them. I've just read a book that culminates in the liberation of Dachau and the sights the liberators are met with shell shocked them. The stories the survivors told them repulsed the liberators so much that US doctors refused to treat wounded camp guards. Aside from this it's a disgrace that companies like Krupp could continue and also the company producing gas I believe now produces Anaesthetic for hospitals.

Comment:
To be clear, I didn't say that the Wannsee Conference STARTED the Holocaust - because the killing of Jews had started earlier than that. Nor did I even suggest that it was just "a few people following orders" - because I believe most of the German people should be held accountable (the Nazis divided the responsibility - and therefore guilt - in such a way that everyone who participated could claim a kind of innocence, or just following orders, but it was with the compliance of the German population that it took place).
And for anyone who thinks Hitler was in some way clever - his country was completely destroyed, and for a long time divided. That's not clever.
And for Brexiteers who believe we "stood alone" against him, well actually we had a lot of help; from Africa, Pakistan, India, Asia, as well as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Later from the Soviet Union, and the USA.
