No statute of limitations: Auschwitz

No statute of limitations: Auschwitz

There are words whose mere utterance is already freezing blood. One such word is Auschwitz. Before the Second World War, it was an ordinary Polish town. And after its beginning - a place that has become associated with Nazi atrocities of incredible proportions.

Until now, historians and law enforcement officials of a number of countries are trying to establish the exact number of victims of Nazi crimes committed in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp complex.



Different sources provide different data on the dead, who died from exhaustion and diseases, tried to death: from 1 to 2,5 million people. Moreover, the data on 2,5 million victims of Auschwitz were given at the Nuremberg Tribunal by the commandant of the death camp Rudolf Höss (from 1940 to 1943 years), adding that he did not know the exact information about the number of victims.

The prisoners of the Auschwitz death camp, liberated by the Red Army, share their terrible memories of being in Nazi dungeons. Memories chill to this day: these are cruel experiments on people, the atrocities of warders, the continuous operation of furnaces.

The bulk of the victims of the camp are Jews. But there were many other victims, including Soviet prisoners of war, Poles, gypsies, representatives of other nationalities.

The film on the History television channel presents material about Auschwitz, about crimes for which there is no concept of “statute of limitations”:

      The Red Army has extinguished the stoves of Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau and other camps .... But the cause of Nazism lives and thrives - people die from artificial diseases, epidemics, hunger, wars, harmful products, the environment .... Adolf rubs his hands in the afterlife - his business lives on.

        What the Nazis did is no worse than what the British and French did with other * enlightened Caucasians * in the colonies.
        By the way, the British only in the Indian colonies and only in the twentieth century killed more people than the Nazis in Europe.
        The Nazis, as decent Europeans, destroyed people in the paradigm of those political trends that have been fundamental in Europe for centuries.
        Much later than the end of WWII in England, their prime minister publicly voiced the idea of ​​destroying the entire population of the Soviet Union, even justifying this rationale for this dream. And nothing.....
        Different ideas appear in Europe, but basically all these ideas are only about enslaving and appropriating someone else's. Nothing else. There are no ideas about the development of mankind, there is only about * sweet to eat, soft sleep ... * but only for the elite.

          Not only in gayropes ... the entire "civilized, enlightened world" did not grow up and ascend on humane ideas! This is THEIR story, which they successfully bury, for that they throw themselves at their opponents with foam at the mouth ... however, madmen, although such white, fluffy, blue now, want to seem like that!

      About German pragmatism.

      If by "the final solution of the Jewish question" we mean destruction, then isn't it easier, if not to lose sight of the German pragmatism, to kill on the spot? Think about the scale of logistics. Carry hundreds and thousands of kilometers away, when there is not enough rolling stock for the needs of a belligerent country, under escort, when there are not enough soldiers at the front, to feed, when every calorie counts, etc. To destroy? Is this German pragmatism?

      Destruction was subject to Eastern Jews, as "infected" by communism, as well as internal - Western ones who were exposed to sympathies with communism. The rest were subject to resettlement to Palestine - this is what was called the final solution of the Jewish question.

      Some photos of documents for thought:

        Pragmatic? Yes, it is. If I am not mistaken, on the order of Himmler, it was considered that the "self-sufficiency" of a prisoner in a concentration camp was 37 days. After which it begins to bring "profit", including even the ashes for fertilization after it is burned. But this is all at minimal cost (cold barracks, stew of their rutabagas, etc.) And the photos attached by you. Apparently for the Red Cross. I read that this was practiced.

        And you don’t get the idea that these are staged photos for the Red Cross and the townsfolk, they say, look, what are the good conditions for people in the camp?

        uniquely unknow ... plusan.

        Somehow I watched an English doc movie of 2015 about a Jew who survived the Holocaust, from his story: he was from Vienna, the Nazis came and sent them to Belgium to a camp in which there was free entrance and exit, after a year of being in it he got bored and he ordered the Germans brought his favorite cello from Vienna, the Germans brought him, after a while he again got bored in this camp and he went to Paris where until 1944 he worked at a brothel for German soldiers)) towards the end of the war the Germans sent him and others Jews to Poland, then to Holland where the Americans "liberated" them.

    For justice, Buchenwald and Dachau nevertheless released mattresses (in fact, in Buchenwald there was a general uprising of prisoners, so the role of the mattresses is rather debatable there).

    These death camps need to be written more often and children should be told and shown .... the memory is too short for some.

      Yeah. It is not that short, it is conveniently selective due to the circumstances - "I remember here, I don't remember here." In May 2019, Israeli soldiers, together with soldiers of the Bundeswehr, conducted exercises to seize the "Russian village".

      And the chief rabbi, Yakov Dov Bleich, the ambassador of Canada, the leadership of the city and region unveiled and consecrated a monument to the heroes of the OUN-UPA in the Jewish cemetery of Sambir. People who participated in Jewish pogroms.

      Probably in gratitude for this the other day in Kiev, a monument to the Jewish writer Sholom Aleichem was painted with a fascist swastika.

        I'm talking about my children - Russian ... let them take care of the memory of Jewish, Ukrainian and Polish children in these countries. Here, in Russia, some have "big" memory gaps. And the concepts of fascism and Nazism are justified by the European value - tolerance (tolerance).

    Twice was in Poland. Twice in Krakow, from which it is a stone's throw to Auschwitz, but never decided to go there. Probably because of the story of his grandfather, who, after a slight wound, was sent there to help the commission for fixing the atrocities of the Nazis. He was counted CHILDREN'S shoes ... He said that healthy men, seasoned in battles, who had seen both blood and death, were taken out into the fresh air. They carried it out so that it would be poured out with water, brought into consciousness, allowed to smoke, and then see how they howl and roll on the ground, sobbing ....

    in Dachau, by the way, 4 Soviet prisoners of war were killed, and this despite the fact that it was one of the main camps in 3Reich.

    In the summer of 2002 he visited Buchenwald. True, not much was left of him, but it was still not enough to see all this. But as the local SS sheep settled there, they also had for themselves not a large zoo and zhora for falconry.

    In the title photo, Zelenskiy would have looked good with the chevron of the SS division "Death's Head" on the sleeve and the Star of David on the chest.
