It is clear to me that you never had the privilege of speaking with someone who had numbers on their arm about their experiences. ...................................... Yeah, my Yiddish speaking mom, she had many of her co workers from the garment industry at our home in Brooklyn, several had #s. None of them were at Berkinau, but the stories were the same.
Prosecute the NKVD, KGB, and go all the way to the Cheka, what was ever done in that area? Not a damn thing. Russian Lives Mater too. Russian on Russian, not only German on Russian. There was a reason the Ukrainians and Belorussians volunteered for the German Units after the invasion. My mother had friends who escaped from Russia during the famine, same kind of stories as those who survived the German Camps. (Cooperate or die.)
Again, I didn’t see anyone disagreeing with you.
FWIW, I happen to agree with you - prosecute ANYONE guilty of a war crime or crime against humanity, regardless of their nationality or that of the victim.
FYI, I don’t exactly have a warm spot in my heart for the Soviet bastards. Though I’m Jewish and have my viewpoint regarding the Germans and their helpers during WW2, my paternal grandfather was born in Russia, and was forced to leave right after the Revolution in order to save his life. His remaining family lost everything material that they owned, save their own home, and they were as oppressed as any of the remaining population throughout the Communist era. He never saw his parents again, and several of his siblings had died by the time he was able to visit family some 46 years after leaving. They created a lot of misery and heartache in his life and those of his family, and I cannot forgive them for that.
