Even a superficial study of World War II beggars the imagination with the extent and depth of the suffering endured.
“Even a superficial study of World War II beggars the imagination with the extent and depth of the suffering endured.”
I’ve watched several documentaries regarding the Final Solution where not only Jews where mass murdered, but the resistance folks, Russian soldiers and other classes of people.
What amazes me, is how the victims would just submit to being murdered. Just simply obeying the German command to enter a pit, stand there, and be shot. Or a mother ordered to hold up her baby in front of her, so when the baby is shot the round gets her too.
Or obeying the order to get into a pit filled with corpses, lay down on the pile, and just stay there until it’s your turn to be shot.
These people had absolutely nothing to lose by either running like hell, or trying to grab a gun and kill one of the Nazi’s before they met their own doom.
Every time I watch one of such documentaries I thank the Lord for the 2nd Amendment.
