"A general deportation of German Jews begins."


"German police and possibly members of an Einsatzkommando murder Jews who stand helpless in a trench.
Because of the sandy soil, this image may be of an Aktion carried out by Einsatzgruppe A along the coast of the Baltic Sea in Lithuania, Latvia, or Estonia.
Although many German soldiers claimed after the war that they had no choice but to shoot when ordered to do so, the fact is that incidents of punishment of men who refused to participate in execution murders were rare.
Men who perpetrated such atrocities did so because they wanted to."

So, how far are we from the day when our own national socialist party, the democrats, start doing the same to conservatives in this country?
