Last SS Auschwitz guard sentenced

Postby Symmetry on Fri Jun 17, 2016 9:43 pm

I have no idea if this is the right place to post this, but as it relates to threads that the mod team moved here, hopefully it's right.

Reinhold Hanning was sentenced to prison for his role in the Holocaust. As a guard at Auschwitz, he was fully aware of the gas chambers. At 94, he may well be the last of his confederates to be tried.

Former Auschwitz guard convicted in one of Germany's last Holocaust trials

The trial included testimony from around a dozen Holocaust survivors, many of them extremely elderly, who detailed their horrific experiences, recalling piles of bodies and the smell of burnt flesh in the death camp.
"It is a just verdict, but he should say more, tell the truth for the young people," said Leon Schwarzbaum, a 95-year-old Auschwitz survivor from Berlin.

My topics tend to get moved around a lot. This was the last place the mods moved a topic about the SS to.

I would guess that those interested in discussion would find it here. So, who knows where this will end up?

To be fair, it would conversely be the place those most opposed to talking would post.

Look, I get it, there's always gonna be a group of people who like the SS, the Nazis, and want to downgrade the importance of the Holocaust.

As I recall the other threads were a conversation/debate concerning a C & A report, relating to CC...

This is a very important topic for me personally, as my Grandfather died at Auschwitz concentration camp.



























He got drunk and fell out of the guard tower.

Meh- happens to me all the time. What did you think of the article?

There's a line of thinking that says that the SS is a thing best forgotten, or dismissed as a relic.

There's also the other side- that it shouldn't be forgotten.

What's your take?

Has the gay thing not been done enough? I do get the joke, although, weirdly the Spice Girls were very much not a gay thing where I grew up.

I only vaguely knew about them growing up. The most I ever heard about them, was that movie they had made. And only that because of the daycare I was in at the time (yes, little MTG was at a daycare in the 90s).

a song in which upon hearing you listening to it, a stranger would conclude that the listener was obviously a homosexual was my intended use of the phrase, sym... ;)

Some sort of secret gay code? Can't help you there. You might be better off talking to people.

Have you ever had the feeling that you wanted to go but still you have the feeling that you wanted to stay?
