I don't think she escaped, and she certainly won't escape justice after her death. What is tragic is the senselessness of all the evil, and how easily it spreads. This is always a challenge for those who are persecuted, that they not become like their persecutors. I had a debate with someone who I think is no longer posting, not a regular. His view was that Nuremberg trials were victor's justice and no justice at all. I, of course, vehemently disagreed.
I wonder how often this actually happens. Evil people are a breed apart. Good people harmed by evil people, and enraged by that wrongful harm, are not the same as the hatred held by those evil people. We live in a world where a LOT of evil people have tried to normalize the two, and guilt their victims, and claim all "violence" is equal. But it's not. There actually is good violence and bad violence. And good people who are harmed will usually harm themselves before they harm anyone else, no matter how hurt they are.
On the other hand, evil people look for any excuse to harm others, and any excue to claim normalcy and that "everybody does it." That's the root of my disagreement with the person telling this particular story - he feared becoming something he actually could never become, but he didn't know that. he compared himself to Mengele without any understanding that it is utterly impossible for such an equality to exist, starting with the fact that Mengele never once in his life worried about becoming something or someone evil.
As well, the idea that Mengele murdering his mother and sister was somehow the same as his killing an avowed female Nazi who had years of activity and support of the SS in a town next to a death camp is to turn innocence and guilt, let alone common sense, on its head.
But I do indeed believe that he may have actually feared he might become Mengele, no matter how confused and wrong that fear actually is. The Mengele's of the world have spent thousands of years making good people afraid of such impossibilities, so that they might hide among us, and escape justice.
I had a friend who was a Vietnam Vet who was very confused over this very thing. He got the guilts and became an alcoholic and lost sight of the simple fact that why we do things actually matters. he also, unfortunately, was a liberal, and it was through exposure to years of their "moral equivalency" and hypocritical "non-violence" mantras that - I believe - his own faith in himself eroded, until it collapsed. It's a terrible thing, a mind poison, and the extremity of the dualities this particular posted story makes me wonder if it's not largely made up, in order to invoke wrongful compassion for Nazi murderers.
After all, there are an enormous number of baby-carrying Muslim women actually in our country who firmly believe that every one of us non-Muslims should be killed, right down to our children, right now, today, if we don't abandon our freedoms and submit to their slavery. And they are proving their beliefs by doing just that to thousands of people around the world right now. So a comparison of that reality with this story about Nazis is hardly difficult, nor frivolous. Rather, I'd call it pretty damn dangerous.
