Meh, doesn't really change the level of cruelty much being 7k or 42.5k camps. I suppose it's for the better getting a real overview of what happened, as it will make a more convincing case against retards claiming holocaust didn't happen. Outside of that I don't see this used for anything good. It happened 60 years ago and whoever was not brought to justice back then is most likely dead by old age by now. | ||

I know as a fact that on the farm of my grandparents four prisoners of war had to work on the fields - as most able German men were busy fighting the war. (As a matter of fact, my grandfather himself was imprisoned in Russia at the same time - and for two more years after the war.) Those POW's were not imprisoned nor were they under constant supervision. They were treated just like any other farmhand, except that they were not payed of course. I assume, my grandparents farm and all the other farms were each counted as a separate Nazi ghetto by the people compiling this report... | ||

In my opinion, what's done is done. Just because we find out that the Nazi's killed a million or 5 million more jews, does that really change anything? | ||

No one really talks about the purges of Stalin to the same extent and the millions who died in gulags. Hell, my grandparents were sent to a gulag So, you don't care about your grandparents nor about the sovereignity of Estonia? | ||

It still surprises me the US celebrates columbus day. That guy was a total dick. | ||

Give it time and it'll be forgotten, just like any other cruelties us humans have caused throughout history. RIP in piece~ Nice read though. I now know there were more camps than originally thought. This really puts things into perspective. There is a difference between war and genocide. | ||

Always being brought up and guilt is supposed to make a difference somehow. His reaction is that of forgive and forget, or rather, just forget. It's ok for him to ignore it, I mean he wasn't there doling the stuff and isn't directly affected by what happened. Doesn't make him less human. | ||

Either way, an interesting increase. I'll have to look up this study and see the criteria they were using. Note to everyone going, "It's so much worse than we thought!" no it's not. It simply suggests the sort of logistics involved in organizing the operation. It's an ornamental fact to the same number of human deaths and the same level of human suffering. | ||

In the end, he replied to himself : just like him, most people care only about themselves, and about their own history. Actually, no, cross that: most people only care about the present, their own present. Outside of the european sphere, people don't care as much about the Holocaust. Chinese people are obsessed with Nankin, native Americans are obssessed with the Trail of Tears. Because, just like Noonius, egocentrism and ethnocentrism are the ruling trends. It's also weird to say that he doesn't care about something that happened 70 years ago, and then say that he cares about Stalin's purges. The trials of Moscow were held 77 years ago! By Noonius' own standards, he shouldn't care, nor should he care about what his grandparents went through, and nor should I. Why Israël? Why Palestine? Why Tchetchenia? Why Kosovo? Why Afghanistan? Because of what happened a long time ago, because of things most onlookers don't care about, too busy playing games and going about their innocent lives. | ||
