I only saw Life Is Beautiful in the last couple of years. I can forgive Benigni’s over the top Oscar performance because of it.

Life Is Beautiful has to be the the sadest movie I have ever seen. Only saving grace was those were American tanks at the end. Remember that their own mostly worthless government did all of it.

One of my most troubling,other-worldly experiences I’ve ever had was my visit to the Dachau museum on a cold,rainy day.The images are etched in my mind almost 40 years later.

Saw Dachau on a trip years ago. It was profound. Three days later saw Auschwitz. Almost forgot Dachau after that. Auschwitz is horribly overwhelming.

Our neighbors are from Chicago (Roman Catholic) and of Polish descent. About 5 years ago he was doing contract work for USSteel in eastern Europe. He made the journey to Auschwitz during a break. It shook him up. There are lists displayed of the names of the exterminated inmates. He said he saw many names listed with his surname. He made a point of sharing his pictures with friends and acquaintances far and wide. He, too, embraced the Jewish maxim, "Never Again."

As bad as matters appear to be shaping up here in ObamaLand, the FR threads regarding South Africa post-Mandela are very sobering. I pray the Afrikaners will be spared. And of course, Israel is attempting to keep the same devil at bay.

I was never 1 to pursue Biblical apocalyptic writings about the end times - made my head swim with the incredible number of interpretations/theories. I resigned myself to taking Jesus words' to heart, "that no man can know the hour." A retired Southern Baptist pastor across the street put it to me most succinctly regarding the Book of Revelation - "God wins in the end."

Yet, I too was exposed to Hal Lindsay's 1970 book, The Late Great Planet Earth. He wrote in it that he found little in the Bible that could represent the United States of America as the time for Armageddon approached. That always stuck with me. And now we have post-modern America under Obama ...

I’ve certainly heard of it.
After World War 2, my father and my mother’s surviving cousins were neighbors and friends, having resettled in Stettin from Drohobycz (Galicia near Lvov) and Lublin. But for some initiative and a lot of luck, they would have been buried near each other in Belzec.

“We stopped for a drink in a bar and the natives seemed unfriendly enough.”

“All seem to be related in some way.”

“There is a small, dilapidated memorial containing some bones and ashes (which is regularly vandalised by Poles searching for “Jewish gold”). It is overgrown and unkempt.”

LOL !!!1 What a Holocaust story would be without usual dose of racism and Polonophobia ?

Thanks for posting this. The only issue I have with the focus on Nazi’s is that the communists did the same, on a grander scale and with greater ruthlessness. Fewer people know that than know about Belzec.

Wholesale killing requires explosives, incendiaries, gas, etc.

Starvation works well too.

Don't forget the Holodomor.

Quite correct. However, when the Armed & Armored are on your doorstep, the “Donut Deprivation Defense” may have a slower response time than desired.

What I was getting at is that the difference between Belzec and Auschwitz was that Belzec was officially closed, and when the Nazis closed a camp, it was in a “final solution” sense.

The Nazis knew perfectly well that what they were doing was wrong and if they lost the war they would be held to account. Another reason so many at the top committed suicide - they knew what fate awaited them for their evil crimes.

When essentially talking about two aspects of the same thing.

Hell, it was his idea, just read Mein Kampf.....Hell, just read William Ayres and some of his highly educated cronies from the Ivy League schools. “125,000,000 Americans must be killed before we can be succesful in our endeavors.” They’ve started on that, big time.

Auschwitz was actually two separate camps.....One camp contained factories, where they used Jews as slave labor, those are the ones that survived for the most part....Then there was the Death Camp part of Auschwitz.

Actually, there were more than two camps. Auschwitz was a camp complex. The Death Camp was at Birkenau. This isn't to say that people didn't die at the other camps - they did by the thousands - but Birkenau was set up for mass murder. They other camps were organized as slave labor camps.

That is true. Auschwitz was a large-scale camp system spread throughout the region.
