And here in America, there are people that fly the Nazi flag. The depravities of humanity knows no limits. So sad.

I can’t imagine what this woman, and all of the others who suffered under the holocaust had to go through. I wonder have any survivors spoken out about the treatment of Palestinians in Israel? I always imagined survivors would be the first to speak up about the bulldozing of homes and forced evictions and other mistreatment, but I have only heard of academics criticizing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.

A pessimistic view is that the evil stuff people do to each other in wars and genocides and so on is repeated precisely because it's how to effectively achieve the most basic goal in such situations. Get power and use it.

This is why nazi like ideology has to be fought tooth and nail, by any and all means necesarry.

Lazy, defeatist mentality. You don't have to try to make the world a better place if you're already a quitter. You don't have to contribute to society if at the end of the day you disregard all forms of humanitarian efforts because "lol humans gonna human".

Read her book recounting her experience during the Holocaust. The perspective from a female is even more horrific. Her book is amazingly well written and hard to put down. All But My Life by Gerda Weissman. I like it more than Night, Diary of Anne Frank and Maus, though they all have their place.

I met another survivor 17 years ago, a woman named Bronia Sonnenschein. Her story stuck with me... she survived meeting Josef Mengele, the Dresden firebombs and the death march. If she hadn't told us all this, I never would've guessed. Her disposition was so sunny and pleasant. Remarkably strong woman.

Prosperity gospel on the other hand

Not long ago I read The Choice, autobiography by Edith Eger. She is also holocaust survivor. It's a horrible story yet full of hope, pain and survival.

True, could be both.

They want to be the one wielding that kind of power. Putting them under the boot and trying to ground them down won’t suddenly make them feel bad for it happening to others, it will just vindicate their need to inflict pain on others and to have the power to do so with impunity.

The response is not “never again” it is “never again TO ME”.

When I see documentaries like this it’s makes me so angry in this day and age when you have deniers and wannabe fascists.

r.i.p. She passed away this spring.

"those girls' toes broke off like twigs"... is how she described in the video. :(

At the time of her rescue, she felt less than human, having been taught by the Nazis that Jews were vermin. She was emaciated and filthy and covered in lice when Kurt Klein held out his hand to help her into his Jeep, treating her like a lady. She thought she had to be honest with him, so she said, "I am a Jew."

He said, "So am I."

It took the Nazi a decade to build the institutions and the mind-set to carry out their program. It was deliberate and structured - even if it started on existing foundations. And while brutality is common (although not as common as the news would have us think), this form and scale are very rare. It can be avoided.

Stone age emotions, medieval beliefs and God-like technology many people can reach. That is a combination which will kill millions.

Being bipolar doesn't turn you into a Nazi though. He is going through a mental health crisis, but also he's a bigoted asshole.

okay treatment then, lol

Everyone is harping on him but it seems pretty clear to me that he's having a mental health crisis.

Instead of getting help, or being forced to get help, he's being allowed in the spotlight, and everyone is lapping it up.

A Brief Disagreement

I know. We are just hairless apes. Our society has evolved rapidly but our minds are still almost exactly the same as they were in the bronze age. Brutality is part of us like anything else. I just hope we can make it less and less hearing these stories.

well i guess the proper correction is to remove the word only and reword some things so it makes sense

Repeat is inevitable. Humans gonna human.
