The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking

[listopencil]

Thirteen years ago, researchers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum began the grim task of documenting all the ghettos, slave labor sites, concentration camps and killing factories that the Nazis set up throughout Europe.

What they have found so far has shocked even scholars steeped in the history of the Holocaust.

The researchers have cataloged some 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps throughout Europe, spanning German-controlled areas from France to Russia and Germany itself, during Hitler’s reign of brutality from 1933 to 1945.

So...

I think we have given the Germans and Hitler a good ripe rogering in this thread. Rightfully so.

But, you know, when I we going to start talking about Stalin?

Rome, Italy, Mar 7, 2013 / 04:12 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Blessed Maria Restituta, a Catholic nurse who was decapitated by the Nazis in March of 1943, was remembered for her courageous martyrdom during a recent Mass in Rome.

Cardinal Christoph Shonborn recalled the 70th anniversary of Blessed Maria’s death during a celebration of the Liturgy of the Word on March 6.

The Mass was held at the Basilica of St. Bartholomew, which was dedicated by Pope John Paul II to the memory of the martyrs of the 20th and 21st centuries. During the Mass, members of Blessed Maria’s religious order, the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, donated a small cross that she wore on her habit to the Basilica.

Yep, entirely conceivable.

Give me a call when the government starts involuntarily sending people there by the trainload, dumbass.

Konrad Adenauer, first democratically elected chancelor of West Germany:

He spent most of the war years in Concentration camps, as did about a million other (non-Jews) Germans.

They may not send them there by the train load, but they are federally funded and supported by a lot of government officials.

>55 million murders in 40 years. The Jewish holocaust was teeny by comparison.

I'm really not sure what your point is. What would you have liked the Germans to do, call the police?

Ukrainians, Russians... what could they do?

People must have been mass-tweeting about this - of course they knew!

Many and sharp the num'rous ills
Inwoven with our frame!
More pointed still we make ourselves
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And man, whose heav'n-erected face
The smiles of love adorn, -
Man's inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn!

In July 1933, the Nazis enacted the Law for the Prevention of Genetically Diseased Offspring. To prevent degeneration, about 400,000 Germans were sterilized between 1933 and 1939—feeble-minded, schizoid, epileptic, alcoholic, manic-depressive, blind, deaf, and malformed, overwhelmingly Aryan Germans (p. 108). Doctors directed this program, which was so thorough that occasionally Nazis like Dr. Wagner and Heinrich Himmler felt compelled to restrain the doctors, who, for example, sought to sterilize an alcoholic in his seventies (pp. 114-15).
