Bkmrk.
Rest in peace.
Even among concentration camps Sobibor was considered a unique kind of hell.
incredible movie...
The one scene that really gets me in that movie, is when the train of Dutch Jews, all dressed up to the nines, and the woman even gives one of the Sonderkommando a tip as he takes her bags.
They had no clue.
Ping r later viewing
I watched films taken by the Russian army when they liberated Auschwitz (sp) just last Saturday. My overwhelming thought was this...where was God? Yes, religious people will say that we have free will and that kind of hell on earth is the work of Satan. But that excuses God, who is supposed to have created everything, including Satan. Why create conditions that can lead to such horrific, indescribable evil in the first place?

Thanks——————didn’t know about this movie——will watch this PM.
I was 13 years old when the war ended and to this day I can remember when Movietone News showed the films of the poor people being discovered at the concentration camps.
We were kids at our Saturday matinee and I can still remember the horror.

There was no subterfuge when dealing with Eastern Jews
who were driven like cattle.
I posted this yesterday on a thread, and I’ll post it here.

Imagine you heard this in 1945, would you have believed it?

Bump - thanks for the link
Freedom of choice (for man)?
Since God is Omnipotent, then He knows the outcome before starting to set out to create the conditions...
As one of the survivors of Auschwitz wrote, God only came to people in death.
This tell you something: it is up to us to fight evil. Earth is a contest between good and evil. Take your side or do nothing.
There is speculation as to how Gustav Wagner died. He had escaped to Brazil after the war, and was found dead in 1980 with a knife in his chest. The official story is that it was self-inflicted, but others suggest it was one of the Sobibor survivors that killed him.
